Album Art builds- patched?!

[mschneider]

I've patched a few album art builds myself and downloaded a couple others. When i put these into the sansa e200 simulator and apply an album art theme the default wps is shown instead of the album art wps. Did i do something wrong patching?

Likely the .wps files you are using have syntax errors in their tags. Try the --debugwps switch to the simulator.

You can't put a build into the simulator. You have to compile the simulator with the patch. The simulator IS the build.

[mschneider]

To compile the simulator with the patch would we first patch the file as a normal build and then re-configure as a sim and zip?

[Llorean]

You don't need to make a normal build. Just patch the source code, run configure, choose a simulator, make, and make install.

[elborak]

Why would you need to zip? Create a build directory for the version of the sim you want to build (using the same patched sources as you plan to use for your ultimate target), configure, build, install, run.

Sorry, I meant to type "make install". It's been a long day.
