Patching Doom

[mattandme]

I see all these things about patching the Rockbox builds, but I'd like to know how to patch the doom files. I have a nice scroll patch for my ipod 5.5g 30gb. What would i need to patch it? If it helps, I've installed cygwin, and i do have the file.

[singerie]

svn co svn://svn.rockbox.com/rockbox/trunk rockbox

put the patch file in the proper folder (rockbox/apps/plugins/doom)

type : patch < patch_file.patch

and you are ready for compiling

[mattandme]

I have absolutely no idea how to use bash, so I might need baby steps here.
it says command svn not recognized. is there anything else i need to install on the cygwin program?

[singerie]

try

http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CygwinDevelopment

and with screenshot :

i followed it and it works.

[mattandme]

oops, my bad! It must get tiring listening to people who dont follow directions? any way, ill try it now, and i might have a few more questions later.

[mattandme]

i got this, I've tried reinstalling that part of cygwin, but it wont work. any suggestions?

Did you follow the linked instructions exactly, including step 4?

Why don't you ask someone to make you a custom Build? That's what I did. I asked evilg to make a build with the Doom scrollwheel patch and spider solitare, and it works like a charm.
Just ask a developer, and heck, If you want the Doom scrollwheel patch, I can just email you the build evilg made for me

[mattandme]

is it in the build, or in the doom files when it's compiled?

And step 4 didn't help either

[elborak]

step 4 didn't help either

What do these commands show:

echo $PATH
ls -l /usr/local/arm-elf/bin/arm-elf-gcc

[mattandme]

FIRST COMMAND:

Code: [Select]

usr/local/arm-elf/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/W
INDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/WBEM"/cygdrive/
c/Program Files/ATI Technologies/ATI.ACE/:/cygdrive/c/ProgramFiles/Quicktime/QT
System

SECOND COMMAND:

Code: [Select]

ls: cannot access /usr/local/arm-elf/bin/arm-elf-gcc: No such file or directory

[elborak]

Very odd.  Are you sure you chose the "Devel - arm-elf-gcc" package (as well as the other required packages noted in step 3) when installing Cygwin?

Could you put up your doom.rock file?

my email is in my profile

thanks!

cygwin gcc not in path try this

Step 4: Add the cross-compiler directory to your path
To successfully compile rockbox, the cross compiler directory has to be in your path.

This is automatically done by the installation script. If that fails for some reason, there are a couple ways of doing so, here's one:

Edit using nano or vi (not Notepad or Wordpad in Windows) /etc/profile and add ":/opt/sh/bin:/opt/m68k/bin:/opt/arm/bin" (without the quotation marks) to the end of the line that says:

     PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin...
so that it reads:      PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/sh/bin:/opt/m68k/bin:/opt/arm/bin:$PATH
Save the changes, exit cygwin and restart cygwin.

Hope this helps, I always have to do this it appears that the installer simply does not add this allthough it's supposed to!
