Next i ran "make" and got three more of the same errors. Next i ran "make install" and i got a "rockbox-full.zip" and my archos directory with the .rockbox folder in it.

What were the errors?  Does the "make" command look like it's completely building Rockbox, or does it stop?  It should take a minute or two, or maybe longer, to build the sim from an empty build directory.

If you can do the following, it may help us help you:

1) Delete your existing build directory and create a new one
2) Run ../tools/configure and select the sim build you want to build
3) Type "make &> logfile.txt" and then attach that logfile.txt to a message in this thread.

mschneider:
Ok here is the .txt. I've been reading the index and looking through the simulator page. When i type in ./rockboxui after i've gone through all of the previous steps i get "no such file or directory". Isnt that suppposed to run the simulator?

linuxstb:
The logfile is showing that the compilation isn't happening - it's failing at the first file and stopping.

I don't know enough about cygwin to suggest a solution though - maybe others can.

bluebrother:
the line

--- Code: ---make: *** [tools] Error 2
--- End code ---
shows you that there has a serious error occured. This also means that you can not expect any useable result, at least not in terms of an executable you can run.

No idea about the cygwin error though -- why not just try the vmware image?
