Michael Giacomelli 8b01677c52 Commit new theme: Cabbie 2.0\! Thanks to everyone in the forums who made this possible. If you see any problems
please report them in FS#8443.  Once we are satisfied that Cabbie 2.0 is workable, it will hopefully become the new default rockbox theme\!

manual Manual: Be more accurate about 'reset settings with button during startup' - the feature wasn't mentioned in some manuals even though it is possible (Sansas, Iaudios, H10s); use the *_PAD macros because it depends on the keypad and this way it's easier to exclude it from the 1st-3rd gen Ipod manuals (currently not possible on these targets); use the 'press button' phrasing for the Gigabeat (still not perfect but better than before). 2008-01-20 16:33:12 +00:00
rbutil rbutil: lupdate on all languages, updated german lang. 2008-01-20 21:20:14 +00:00
tools added an option to get a list of voices for a language, for rbutil. 2008-01-19 18:46:06 +00:00
uisimulator compile uisimulator for m:robe 100, button definitions taken from h10 for now 2008-01-20 22:57:49 +00:00
utils Firmware update utility for the Gigabeat S and probably other MTP devices. Based on libmtp's sendfile.c example, tweaked by Maurus Cuelenaere and me to send firmware files. 2007-11-22 18:07:40 +00:00

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*.

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
