Compiling rockbox using a mac?

brogan:
First of all, i just want to say that i really appreciate the help...... but I'm still confused on how to change the path...... and where to find /usr/local/arm-elf/  i tried to find a usr directory and couldn't find one.. i even searched.. and had no success.... so how exactly do i find arm-elf-gcc , and how do put it into the path.. thanks.

The command you used above should do it.  Since it did not, either you've put the compiler somewhere else, rockboxdev did not run, or you did not type the command correctly.  Since you can't find where it installed to, you could run it again, paying attention to the install directory and making sure the tool completes.

I found a folder called usr/ and then i clicked on local/ but all the folders and next couple files and folders were font forge related ... then back in macintosh hd/ i saw a folder called tmp/ inside was rbdev-build/summary-a/ and rbdev-dl/binutils......bz2, gcc-core.... bz2, and rockbox-... arm-elf-gcc...dff/
what do u recomend that I do from here?

GodEater:
Try opening a terminal window, and doing the following :


--- Code: ---find / -name "arm-elf-gcc" -print

--- End code ---

The  change to a later gcc means the linux instructions are now broken.

A work around is to use

sudo CPPFLAGS=-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE ./rockboxdev.sh


(information obtained from irc when trying to compile on Linux ubuntu 8.10)
