Compiling rockbox using a mac?

[GodEater]

He's not using Linux...

[robin0800]

Well that is one of the symptoms I had and the path was not found because arm-elf-gcc  had not been made properly..

[brogan]

So what should I do? When I typed find / -name "arm-elf-gcc" -print, it said, find: /.Spotlight-V100/.journalHistoryLog: Permission denied
find: /.Spotlight-V100/.store.db: Permission denied
find: /.Spotlight-V100/_rules.plist: Permission denied
find: /.Spotlight-V100/ContentIndex.db: Permission denied
find: /.Spotlight-V100/store.db: Permission denied
find: /.Spotlight-V100: Permission denied
find: /.Trashes: Permission denied
,
So that didn't work, and like Godeater said, I'm not using Linux, so sudo CPPFLAGS=-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE ./rockboxdev.sh
, so that didn't work either.
What should I try doing, should I delete the files and rerun rockboxdev.sh? Thanks

should I delete the files and rerun rockboxdev.sh?

That sounds like a good idea.  You probably need to run the script with sudo, too.

[brogan]

And so how do I run the script with sudo?
I deleted the files and reran rockboxdev.sh and i noticed that near the end in terminal it said,

make[3]: *** [crtbegin.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [extra] Error 2
make[1]: *** [stmp-multilib] Error 2

Cleaning up build folder

Done!

Make your PATH include :/usr/local/arm-elf/bin
============================ Summary ============================
target:              arm-elf
gcc version:         4.0.3
gcc patch:           rockbox-multilibs-arm-elf-gcc-4.0.3_2.diff
binutils:            2.16.1
installation target: /usr/local/arm-elf

When done, append /usr/local/arm-elf/bin to PATH

So there was no usr/local/arm-elf/ folder, it said permission denied and didn't create arm-elf/. Now what should I try doing? If I need to, I do have access to a vista. Thanks

This is because you didn't run it with sudo.

And so how do I run the script with sudo?

By typing sudo before the command, as noted in the instructions you said you were following.

[cool_walking_]

Maybe my wording made it sound like there was a separate "script with sudo"?  I meant you need to run rockboxdev.sh ("the script") with sudo:

Code: [Select]

sudo ./rockboxdev.sh

[brogan]

Alright, thanks again.. I got rockboxdev.sh to work using sudo, so thanks, but when I type make, it says

What do I need to do? Is there just some software I need to dowload/update?.... Thanks

[cool_walking_]

You're missing subversion.  I don't have a Mac so I'm not sure if it was supposed to be included in Xcode or what...

[brogan]

So does anyone know where I can get subversion for Mac, or what to do.... Thanks

Ok, I'm pretty sure I installed subversion and put it in the PATH, so now when I type make, it says,

So what does this mean, did I install subversion? What's the problem? Thanks

[cool_walking_]

Looks like subversion is installed properly, as evidenced by the lack of "svnversion: command not found" errors.

I'm not sure what's going on there.  You could try with a fresh build directory (i.e. create a new directory and do the ../tools/configure again).

If the source has been patched, perhaps the patch is broken.  You can do "svn revert -R ." in the rockbox-18826 directory to remove any patches, and then try compiling just the vanilla source.

[brogan]

Thanks, that's probably the problem, I used 3 different patches... so there's probably atleast one that didn't work right. So I'll try a new source. Thanks
