Patching
GodEater:
And if you haven't then "patch" on it's own isn't going to help you much.

This online book tell's you more about working with and using 'Patch' and 'Diff' files and invoking as command.
I have reading this mostley and i've learn how to use .patch files or .diff files,
without any C programming knowledge.
Look here. www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/diff/index.html
DavidRawson:
Are you saying that by running rockboxdev.sh, that patch and diff are already installed? I tried patch, but all it did was make a blank line and nothing happens.

Oke, from the beginning.
Did you ever compiled a Rockbox source?
If not?
Look at: www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DevelopmentGuide#Setup_Your_Environment
You must set-up an enviroment, but it depends on your PC, Linux or Windows!
I choose first CygWin (i have an windows-PC) and now i work only with VMWare
(coLinux setup fails here, during the installation),
i can advise you, choose for the VMWare, its much faster then CygWin.
Again, if you have a Windows-PC!
After this:
Look here: www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/HowToCompile
If you can make a build, then you can try to apply an patch to the source,
but an patch is not always needed, it depends.
Example: i like the REP-patch (search in the forums) so i invoke this one,
because i need this one, just like that!
