Compiling the Simulator

<< < (2/6) > >>

linuxstb:
Are you compiling in vmware?  If so, then you'll get a Linux executable (rockboxui), not a Windows .exe file.

mschneider:
no i am compiling in cygwin on windows. Is it still possible to make and run a simulator?

bluebrother:
well, _if_ building worked you'll get an executable file in the build directory. Did your build work at all? It would be helpful if you could post some more details, like warnings / errors in your log or any information if building works with a clean svn.

mschneider:
Well when i began to compile (selected my player) i got two "Dr. Watson" errors but i was told that these were windows related and wouldnt affect my build. 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.

tdtooke:
This may or may not help anyone but anyways..  When I first tried to build a sim I tried to build it in my build directory where I had already built rockbox for my iPod.....very bad idea, all kinds of errors.  You really do have to put that in it's own directory.  Not sure if that helps anyone, but I thought it might be a common mistake so I thought I'd post it.
