Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling

Several things I need help with Cygwin and The Simulator

(1/3) > >>

zombieplasticclock:
 Ok, I plan to make several things to rockbox, and I'm having some problems...

1- My actual computer doesn't have internet (this is my dad's compy), so there will be some problems getting Cygwin on it. Can anyone help me out here, or find an alternative?

2- I got the simulator, and for some reason, Whenever I try to play music, play Rockdoom, or a GB/GBC game with Rockboy, it freezes. What's with that?
 Can someone help me?

1 - I'm sure there are workarounds for getting cygwin without internet, but this would only pose more problems when trying to sync svn.  I also have a computer without internet, but use this computer for rockbox dev.  Best alternative:  get your dad to let you use his computer, or get yours hooked up to the net.  You could try wired or wireless, or maybe just unplug your dad's computer to plug yours in while you sync.

2 - try re-downloading it.

You could download Cygwin onto a separate PC, and setup the appropriate dev environment, then when it's all set do this:
-make sure you installed Cygwin's folder to something simple like C:\Cygwin
-copy C:\cygwin onto a CD along with the Cygwin installer
-install Cygwin on the dev PC, and then copy over C:\Cygwin from disk to the dev computer

I have never tried this or even seen any tutorial on how to do what you are specifically doing so no guarantees this would work, just what I came up with. There isn't much reason it shouldn't work though.

I thought of this, didn't think it would work. Thanks for the Help man.

By the way, Digeratyi, can you explain the whole "SVN Sync" you mentioned? Would it be a major problem not having internet?
Also, to answer to the parts with me getting internet... Not gonna happen. it's like my compy's internet-proof (damn internet card...no money so can't buy a new one...), and my dad's (Internet) Compy is in the basement, with mine two floors above :).
Thanks for the help anyway, guys

You don't have an extra $10 for a cheap network card? If you don't have a router, that'll be another $15-ish for a cheap wired router and around $20 for a long enough network cable. You could probably find those things for even cheaper if you looked around a bit.

I have a $20 wireless router and $20 PCI wireless card, both bought at Futureshop. (Not sure if you have those stores anywhere but Canada, but it's pretty much a clone of Best Buy)
