Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling

Compiled plugins will not run

Hello, I'm experiencing a few slight problems when trying to compile RB.

I am using windows XP, and am compiling through the VMWare image from the wiki. I successfully compiled RB but it took over an hour, no exaggeration(I guess there's not much I can do about this though, 1.6ghz cpu =[).

The real problem is, after i have compiled RB, I run it through the simulator, and it starts up fine. But when i go to run one of the rocks, it gives me an error message saying something about it being an "invalid image". Its really quite obscure.

I followed the guides in the wiki step by step. =[

I hope there is an easy fix for this, so I can go back to writing my plugin  :D

-Thanks in advance

If I'm not mistaken, you'll need to compile a simulator build to test on the simulator.  When you build it asks whether you want (N)ormal, (S)imulator, etc.

Compiling rockbox only takes a couple minutes on my 2GHz system.

That's correct, but bear in mind that the simulator you create there will be the Linux version. It will not work on your host Windows system.

I've compiled on a 1.66Ghz system, and it takes between 3-7 minutes per compile for me.

As they've pointed out, a simulator is a full "build" of Rockbox, compiled for the computer. It'll include its own plugins, but these plugins won't work on the player and player plugins won't work in the simulator.
