Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling

Building only a plugin

<< < (2/2)

Bagder:
Because plugins depend on the plugin struct used in Rockbox.

I would say that the main reason you can't build a single plugin is that the make system isn't written to allow that in an easy manner...

Besides, once you've build the whole lot once running make to just build the changes in a single plugin that you make is not that time consuming.

hydroo:
"installing a full setup in your archos dir"
takes a while.

(Not the actual building - it's probably copying unzipping or something like that)

thanks for your help

Bagder:
Well, you don't have to run 'make install' if you insist. You can copy the actual plugin .so file to the correct install place...

hydroo:
I managed. Thank you.

$ make
$ cp apps/plugins/whatever.rock to archos/.rockbox/rocks/categoryxxx/

works fine
