10 1. Check out 'rockbox' from SVN (or extract a downloaded archive).
12 $ svn co svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk rockbox
16 $ tar xjf rockbox.tar.bz2
18 2. Create a build directory, preferably in the same directory as the firmware/
19 and apps/ directories. This is where all generated files will be written.
25 4. In your build directory, run the 'tools/configure' script and enter what
26 target you want to build for and if you want a debug version or not (and a
27 few more questions). It'll prompt you. The debug version is for making a
28 gdb version out of it. It is only useful if you run gdb towards your target
33 5. *ploink*. Now you have got a Makefile generated for you.
35 6. Make sure you have sh/arm/m68k-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure
36 that you have 'perl' in your PATH too.
41 7. Run 'make' and soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps
42 directories have been compiled, linked and scrambled for you.
47 8. unzip the rockbox.zip on your music player, reboot it and
50 Whenever the tools/configure script gets updated, you can make your makefile
51 updated too by running 'tools/configure update'.
53 If you want to build for more than one target, just create several build
54 directories and create a setup for each target:
56 $ mkdir build-fmrecorder
