Build your own archos.mod.
1. Check out 'firmware', 'apps' and 'tools' from CVS (or possibly from a
downloaded archive). You may possibly want 'uisimulator' too (for trying
out things on host before making target tests). If you haven't already
done so, we advise you pull down the 'docs' directory as well.
If you do want to play with the simulator, read UISIMULATOR.
2. Build the tools by running 'make' in the tools/ directory.
3. Create your own build directory, preferably in the same directory as the
firmware/ and apps/ directories. This is where all generated files will be
put.
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. 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.
5. Make sure you have sh-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH.
6. *ploink*. Now you have got a Makefile generated for you. Run 'make' and
soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps directories have
been compiled and linked.
7. Copy the archos.mod file to your archos, reboot it and *smile*.
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 a new build
directory and create a setup for another target combination in there.
