Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling

Anz advice for compiling on OS X

(1/2) > >>

Angyman:
Hi all,
I am not totally new to compiling but also i am not an expert . I just was able to fix patches and make my own builds with cygwin. Now i moved to Spain and got nothing else with me than a Powerbook with OS X.

And i really have no idea how to compile on that system. It seems to be quite more difficult to setup than on XP.

So any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Really it's quite simple, the instructions for an automatic setup using the rockboxdev.sh script should work for osx, see http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?topic=CrossCompiler

Angyman:
I will give this a try ;-) Thank you

When i invoke  "rockboxdev.sh" on my iMac (Leopard) it complain that gcc is not installed,
what is true. Why?
 So i'd move VMWare to iMac with Parallels Transporter so i can work with the Rockbox-image
(under Parallels) i have compiled the source without any error.
But only the "Rockbox-desktop" and Xterm is not there, i have only a terminal window,
thats all there is, in short, there is no GUI.

But it doesn't matter to me.

I'm not quite sure that i follow but you need gcc installed for rockboxdev.sh to be able to compile the crosscompiler. If you have gcc installed and rockboxdev.sh can't find it there could be some kind of path problem but I have no idea how to fix that on macos...
