Compiling Rockbox on Ubuntu 7.04

[CPUFreak91]

Hi,
I'd like to work with Rockbox source code but after searching the forums and the wiki I've found that I may need to install a custom GCC build. Will rockboxdev.sh let me have a completely separate GCC installation that does not mess or interfere with the GCC version in the Ubuntu repos? Or should I compile and link everything by hand?

The versions of gcc that rockboxdev.sh gets are arm-elf-gcc, sh-elf-gcc, and m68k-elf-gcc.  Am I wrong in assuming that you are asking about the x86 version?

rockboxdev.sh only builds etc the cross compilers, not native X86 gcc.  It does of course need native gcc installed to build the cross compilers.

Ah. So it won't interfere with the x86 gcc then. Thank you.

I was asking about the x86 version, but I see now that it's irrelevant.
