Dominik Riebeling d6ef5a0d80 Create binary voice string archive on target.
Extend genlang to create files holding the voice strings in a binary format
similar to lng. Create such files for all languages during a normal build, put
them in a zip file and add them to rockbox.zip so they are installed with a
main build.

Creating a voice file requires access to the voice strings, which are currently
not distributed with Rockbox. Therefore it is necessary to either have access
to the source code of the installed build or to use a build the genlang service
on rockbox.org can retrieve the strings for, making it impossible for normal
users to generate a voice file for custom builds, test builds and older builds
that aren't supported by the rockbox.org script. It also requires a network
connection when creating voice files with Rockbox Utility even if creating a
voice file by itself isn't network related.

Furthermore, putting the voice strings on the target is also a prerequisite for
eventually supporting a TTS on the player.

Strip voice strings path.

Build Your Own Rockbox

1. Check out 'rockbox' from SVN (or extract a downloaded archive).

   $ svn co svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk rockbox

     or

   $ tar xjf rockbox.tar.bz2

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

3. Make sure you have sh/arm/m68k-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure
   that you have 'perl' in your PATH too. Your gcc cross compiler needs to be
   a particular version depending on what player you are compiling for. These
   can be acquired with the rockboxdev.sh script in the /tools/ folder of the
   source, or will have been included if you've installed one of the
   toolchains or development environments provided at http://www.rockbox.org/

   $ which sh-elf-gcc
   $ which perl

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. Run 'make' and soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps
   directories have been compiled, linked and scrambled for you.

   $ make
   $ make zip

7. unzip the rockbox.zip on your music player, reboot it and
   *smile*.

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
