Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling

Simulator does not run under vmware, please help

(1/3) > >>

dip:
I just switched from cygwin to vmware to compile Rockbox. Compiling and running a build works fine but when I compile the simulator I cannot run it in vmware. When I type ./rockboxui from the build directory in eterm the following messages appears:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

fatal: No available video device

What do I have to do to run the simulator in vmware? I read in the forum that previous versions of the vmware image did not support the simulator, but I downloaded the vmware image yesterday (Debain-4.7z). Are all versions or the rockbox vmware images linked from the wiki page identical (I downloaded the fourth version) or can that be an old version which does not support graphic drivers?

And when I download a new version of the image are my sources from the present version available in the new version?

bascule:
I believe VMWare is used to compile Windows versions of the firmware, so probably the simulator you've built will only work in the Windows environment...

That can't be true. First, there is no rockboxui.exe generated but only a file named rockboxui. And second, when I run that file from the eterm window the above Xlib error message appears, so the file seems to be a linux binary but something is wrong with the X display.

GodEater:
Try running "xhost +" before you attempt to launch the rockboxui binary.

dip:
When I run "xhost +" I get the following error message:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

xhost: unable to open display ":0.0"

Any further ideas would be very appreciated.
