Compiling the Simulator

[mschneider]

So what should i compile with?

[saratoga]

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?

Are you actually in cygwin, or are you just using the cygwin dlls from the windows command line?  I don't think you should be getting paths that start with "C:\" if you're actually inside cygwin, at least I don't.

Yeah, I get a linuxesque kinda experience in Cygwin.

[mschneider]

no i'm in cygwin. most of my paths start with /cygdrive/c/ (at least when i printenv PATH). I think most of my problems are rooted in not having arm-elf-gcc "in my path". cant seem to get it in there either.

Have you tried putting arm-elf-gcc in your PATH even temporarily ?

e.g. typing :

Code: [Select]

export PATH=/path/to/arm-elf-gcc:$PATH

and then trying your compilation ?

[mschneider]

Well i've tried adding it by typing:
export PATH=/opt/arm/bin:$PATH
but that doesnt seem to work. I'll try your method.

[elborak]

Uh... "his method" is exactly what you said you've already tried.

Well i've tried adding it by typing:
export PATH=/opt/arm/bin:$PATH
but that doesnt seem to work. I'll try your method.

errrr -- the topic title says this is about compiling the simulator. For the sim you don't need arm-elf-gcc. You need your host gcc.

[GodEater]

Good point. Well Made.

[mschneider]

true. But i'm still getting those errors. I've re-installed cygwin twice and nothing seems to have changed.

And you did install everything you need right?
