Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling
/tools/configure question... sort of
hayduke:
I have more then one iPod I use Rockbox on. I had to compile my own Rockbox for a Mini with a CF card, so I figured I might as well try and compile one for my 30G Video too.
Since I'm pretty new at this, it led me to a quesiton. First I should probably explain what I've done so far so setup the question.
I installed the Cygwin environment, and checked out the source with svn. Everythign is working fine. I applied the patch for the Mini and recompiled the code. We're fine there. Now I want to compile a Video version. So here is the question.
I run configure and make inside a folder in the Rockbox source folder. Can I make a different "build" folder for each player platform I want to work with? ie buildMini2g build30GVid buildRio etc
As long as I run configure in each folder, they will compile the correct versions, right? And is it OK if they all share the source code?
AlexP:
Yep, that is fine :)
Llorean:
Yes, as long as you're okay with them all having the same patches installed (or the patches are all developed in a way that keeps them from being active on the wrong player).

Good point.

That's what I figured. The patch for the Mini with a CF card looked like it does a check for the platform, so I think it's OK in there :)
Thanks for confirming what I thought was the case. This is new to me and I still doubt my understanding of the process :P
