Should I report errors I get while compiling?

   Well, just before I read your post, Saratoga, I deleted everything in my 'build' dir, and then everything went well.
   Is 'make veryclean' a command.  And is there some character(s) i can type after a command to get help on it (like "/?" in DOS)?

cool_walking_:
Generally with Unix programs, "-h" or "--help" will give you syntax information, though it differs from program to program.

make is a program which, basically, runs a set of commands that are stipulated in the Makefile.  You can see that "veryclean" is a target in the Makefile, which doesn't do anything itself, but depends upon the "clean" and "toolsclean" targets, causing them to be run.

Your Makefile will be different depending on what sort of build you are making, since it is generated by the rockbox/tools/configure script.
