I'm on XP at the moment, but i'm going to linux (Ubuntu) for this real soon.  I'm sick of cygwin taking so long.  But for now I just installed svn, got it all working, and it is awesome.  I for some reason thought it was going to be a lot harder than it was.  Is installing svn on linux just as simple?

Oh and psycho_maniac, thanks as well,
I was having trouble making a simulator build earlier, It had been a little while since I had to use cygwin and I forgot to mkdir the build directory, and your post reminded me that.  ha so thanks!

Tri Nguyen:
If you use ubuntu then you just need to type "sudo apt-get install subversion" on a terminal and anything is installed.

AlexP:
Yes, as Tri Nguyen says, subversion is dead easy to install on linux.  Whilst (IMO) building on linux is the quickest/easiest solution, have you also looked at the VMWare image?  It is a lot quicker to build than cygwin.

yapper:
There is a good guide in the wiki http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SimpleGuideToCompiling

Slightly off topic, but using my old laptop (Windows XP/Celeron M 1.5GHz/256M RAM/Cygwin), it takes 340 seconds to 'make' r16005 after a 'make clean'.

Does anyone have timings for a similar PC using VMWare and/or linux?
