Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling
Where can I download the Rockbox Development Kit?
goblue829:
Yes! Finnaly I understand it! :D
Cygwin is installed and I learned how to use it.
One last thing is, when I have compiled the source code with all the patches I want in it, do I save it to my iPod's root in the .rockbox folder. If so, any files I need to replace?
LambdaCalculus:
If you read the SimpleGuideToCompiling wiki page, you'll see that you run ../tools/configure, set up your device as you need, then run "make && make zip". Once that's done, just open the resulting rockbox.zip file and extract it to the root of your iPod. Simple, no?
goblue829:
Yes, very simple.
Except, for some reason the cygwin bash shell won't recognize any of my commands.
What gives? ???
LambdaCalculus:
Did you follow the instructions on the CrossCompiler page?
goblue829:
Cygwin is now reading my commands. ;D
But, the last problem is that when I downloaded the source code it's filename wasn't rockbox-daily-XXXXXXXX.tar.tar like its supposed to be. It's rockbox.7z
What should I do? Is there a different download link I'm supposed to click?
What I did was clicked on "current build" clicked on "source code" then saved the file. Was that wrong?
