Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling

noob trying to compile in linux but cant find tools/configure??!!

(1/1)

kimangroo:
Hey there,

I'm trying to compile rockbox for ipod 80g on ubuntu gutsy.

I was mistakenly following hshah's guide before I realized it was windows only. I'm now looking at this guide: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/HowToCompile but cannot find tools/configure in the .rockbox file I downloaded from the daily builds page. ???

I guess I'm doing something really stupid  ;D (downloading the wrong thing/looking in the wrong place) but can't work it out.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

nls:
if the zip you downloaded contains a .rockbox dir its a compiled build. you need the source, labelled "Source Archive" on the current build download page.

bluebrother:
Also, the source isn't provided as zip but as tarball. But I'd suggest you strongly to grab the sources directly from svn -- there is a wiki page about that too.

D'oh! :D

that would explain things... Got the source code from svn as bluebrother recommended, followed the instructions on various wikis and finally successfully patched and compiled and installed.

Thanks a lot guys!
