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 3. Make sure you have sh/arm/m68k-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure
26 that you have 'perl' in your PATH too. Your gcc cross compiler needs to be
27 a particular version depending on what player you are compiling for. These
28 can be acquired with the rockboxdev.sh script in the /tools/ folder of the
29 source, or will have been included if you've installed one of the
30 toolchains or development environments provided at http://www.rockbox.org/
35 4. In your build directory, run the 'tools/configure' script and enter what
36 target you want to build for and if you want a debug version or not (and a
37 few more questions). It'll prompt you. The debug version is for making a
38 gdb version out of it. It is only useful if you run gdb towards your target
43 5. *ploink*. Now you have got a Makefile generated for you.
45 6. Run 'make' and soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps
46 directories have been compiled, linked and scrambled for you.
51 7. unzip the rockbox.zip on your music player, reboot it and
54 If you want to build for more than one target, just create several build
55 directories and create a setup for each target:
57 $ mkdir build-fmrecorder
