Rockbox

I've tried to group them better and easier under each manufacturer. This also means that we've now entirely decoupled the menu selection number from the target_id number used within configure and passed along to the build system. I also hushed up the script before the main selection menu is written to the screen. git-svn-id: svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk@10814 a1c6a512-1295-4272-9138-f99709370657 |

Build Your Own Rockbox
1. Check out 'rockbox' from CVS (or extract a downloaded archive). You
want to check out 'rockbox-devel' instead if you want the simulator
code too (for trying out things on host before making target tests).
(For more information about the simulator, read UISIMULATOR.)
$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@www.rockbox.org:/cvsroot/rockbox login
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@www.rockbox.org:/cvsroot/rockbox co rockbox
or
$ tar xzf rockbox.tar.gz
2. Create a build directory, preferably in the same directory as the firmware/
and apps/ directories. This is where all generated files will be written.
$ cd rockbox
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
4. In your build directory, run the 'tools/configure' script and enter what
target you want to build for and if you want a debug version or not (and a
few more questions). It'll prompt you. The debug version is for making a
gdb version out of it. It is only useful if you run gdb towards your target
Archos.
$ ../tools/configure
5. *ploink*. Now you have got a Makefile generated for you.
6. Make sure you have sh-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure that you
have 'perl' in your PATH too.
$ which sh-elf-gcc
$ which perl
7. Run 'make' and soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps
directories have been compiled, linked and scrambled for you.
$ make
8. Copy the archos.mod or ajbrec.ajz file to your archos, reboot it and
*smile*. Recent Rockbox versions need no reboots, just PLAY a new rockbox
version and that'll be loaded and replace the currently running version.
$ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/archos
$ cp ajbrec.ajz /mnt/archos
$ umount /mnt/archos
Whenever the tools/configure script gets updated, you can make your makefile
updated too by running 'tools/configure update'.
If you want to build for more than one target, just create several build
directories and create a setup for each target:
$ mkdir build-fmrecorder
$ cd build-fmrecorder
$ ../tools/configure
$ mkdir build-player
$ cd build-player
$ ../tools/configure
