jgrg1,
The CygWin wiki page *really* needs an update, it's been on my todo list for a while now...thanks for the reminder
I'm assuming that you just grabbed the premade packages from download.rockbox.org, and as far as I know there is no prebuilt eabi (the toolchain your target uses) package for CygWin yet.
You'll need to cd to the tools directory in the rockbox source you checked out and run the script rockboxdev.sh to build the new toolchain.
On CygWin this will take some time.
If you want to build a simulator build you'll also need to download the SDL source and build SDL as well.
You will need to delete the toolchains that you installed previously for the rockboxdev.sh script to work porperly, and also remove the path information that you added to your $PATH
(The toolchains are *now* installed in a default path of the CygWin setup, and you don't have to edit the path at all as long as you don't change the directory they are installed to).
You may even find it easier to just delete your cygwin install and start again, (this guarantees there are no "leftovers"), it's a bit brutal, but it's up to you.
Start here if you decided to start fresh- Download/Install CygWin (*Do* install the packages listed on the wiki, but not the toolchain packages), you'll also want to install the package "curl" (use the search function in the CygWin installer) if you want to download the source code from within cygwin directly, and you'll need it for rockboxdev.sh to complete sucessfully.
- Run CygWin and use it to checkout the rockbox source code.
("svn co svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk rockbox" without the quotes will install it to a folder called rockbox in the current directory)
Start here if you cleaned up your existing install- cd to the tools directory in the rockbox source (cd <path/to/tools/directory>/tools) and run the rockboxdev.sh script by (again, without the quotes) "./rockboxdev.sh"
- Select the toolchains you want to install, you'll probably only want to install arm-elf-eabi, but that's up to you. Remember, this will take a LONG time.
After this completes, it will give you a string to copy into your $PATH variable, ignore it, you should not need to alter the $PATH at all.
(if you want to confirm this, do "echo $PATH" at the CygWin prompt, you should see that /usr/local/bin:, /usr/bin:, and /bin: are already in the $PATH by default.)
When you get this far and you want to install SDL from source to build a simulator, post back.
That should be in another post to stop this turning into a novel
Also, if I need to explain anything further, please post back.
