rbutil - The Rockbox Utility needs testing
Domonoky:
Hi Folks,
I am working on extending and impoving rbutil (http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/RockboxUtility) the Rockbox Utility for installing everything Rockbox related.
This Tool should evolve into the official rockbox installer, and now i could need your Help for testing.
You can find a win32 binary of rbutil at : http://b23.org/~domonoky/rbutil.zip
For Linux and Mac you would have to compile with the Patch FS #6893
EDIT:
to compile on Linux you need wxWidget 2.8, this is likely not in the repository of your Distro, but there is a package for Ubuntu (works also on Debian) on the wxWidgets page. Otherwise you can compile wxWidgets 2.8 yourself, see instructions on their page).
I would like to hear your Testresults, and if you find any problems, please write it here or in the Tracker. And please include the Details, like you OS and your player.
If you have other suggestions, i would also like to hear it.
and finally, if know C++ and have time, please step in :-)
have fun testing,
regards, Domonoky

Can you give some more specific dirrections as to how to compile rbutil in linux. I tried with no sucess.

You need to install wxwidgets 2.8 - see http://www.wxwidgets.org for information on how to do that.
After that, it's simply a matter of typing "make" in the rbutil directory in the Rockbox source.
For the purposes of this testing, you should apply the latest version of Domonoky's patch from FS #6893

Also "with no success" doesn't really help anyone out with where you went wrong. What did you try - what went wrong ?

I just added widgets to cygwin as described here and sucessfully compiled the hello world example on that page but I can't for the life of me compile rbutil. I'm assuming I just have to type make, right? It starts out ok, but always starts spitting out errors when it reaches the bootloader. I'm using wxWidgets 2.8.4, should I use 2.8.0? I'm also using windows. I can post a screenshot of my compiler errors if that would be helpful. Also I'm using GCC 3.4.4-3 and I noticed that if I were to try WIN=1 then the directories are all wrong, probably because it said that was for Debian. Thoughts?
Edit: Right now my only idea is to get GCC or Mingw independent of Cygwin and use that. Since that will involve me digging through my path variable and moving some things there to my cygwin bash profile (yes, I was that lazy when I first set up Cygwin)to prevent problems I'm kinda leary to begin doing all that. Just looking at the Wiki I'm assuming (probably bad idea) that has to work. Is that the way to go?
