How exactly do i edit my PATH though. Do i open a file?

Please see my post above. Use Notepad++ just like a text editor, and add the noted line to your .bash_profile file.

To build the cross compiler for sansa do you have to patch gcc 4.0.3?

[GodEater]

No - just use the rockboxdev.sh script that comes with the rockbox source code.

for cygwin there are packages available (see the installation instructions in the wiki about that), so no need to build or patch the compiler yourself.

[mschneider]

Oh, well i thought my problem was that i had not built the compiler. But this appears to be wrong. I'm still getting those same errors though. Any ideas as to what my actual problem may be? I think i'm completely lost.

May I suggest simply using the vmware image? It's a standard linux running, and that works similarly to cygwin. It comes preconfigured, so you can just go and start.

[mschneider]

Hmm, does this actually install Linux on the drive? It looks a lot more simple than cygwin but i just need some clarification.

[bluebrother]

have you considered searching the web and wiki before a bit? Vmware emulates a complete PC, and for that it also simulates the hard disks. From the view of your host system (i.e. windows) it's just everything contained in a big file. It does not install Linux because it is already installed...

Great, i'm downloading/installing now!

Ok i've installed the image and the player on my dev computer that does not have internet. I've used cygwin on a computer that does have internet to get the daily build. I have copied the rockbox folder over to my dev computer but cant figure out how to get to it in vmware. Where should i put the folder?

[mschneider]

Ok everything's good. Compiled with VMware (thanks for the suggestion) and everything works. Thanks for the help!

How exactly do i edit my PATH though. Do i open a file?

if you're using cygwin you type

nano /etc/profile

this opens the profile file that holds the PATH info...
edit the PATH line...

Mine looked like this when done

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/ops/sh/bin:/opt/m68k/bin:/opt/arm/bin:$PATH

yours should look similar...
