Testing build on pc not player

dkarma:
These forums and this project is excellent!!!
This is probably a noobish question, but...
I have begun modifying various files etc and have a complete build w/ no errors, however I only have one sansa and don't want to reinstall RB over the current stable installation.  Is there a way to test my new build on my pc (xp) first?  I've been trying to find out how to do this in the index section to no avail.  I have been running cygwin for building / compiling and it has worked so far do I run it in that envrionment or can i build an exe somehow?  I tried the make install command and got an error

thx in advance

LambdaCalculus:
Try compiling your build as a simulator to see the results. But you should always keep a backup of the official build you're running on, especially in cases where you roll your own builds.

dkarma:

Simulator build was successfull, but the make install command never made a rockboxui.exe file to run...
