[SOLVED] Error compiling Rockbox in Cygwin

[rberna]

Hello to everybody,

I have a nasty problem while trying to compile Rockbox under Cygwin (Win XP SP3).

While compiling the file alarm_menu.c, I got many undefs (LANG_ALARM_MOD_TIME, LANG_ALARM_MOD_ERROR, LANG_ALARM_MOD_DISABLE, etc.)


I followed the cross-compiling instructions fully (at least so it seems to me).

- compiler is arm-elf-gcc 4.0.3, downloaded by Cygwin's setup.exe -X from rockbox site

- tried both the source tree downloaded by SVN (download ok), and the source tree manually unzipped from the source file

- I prepared the build directory (called build), then I typed ../tools/configure. I selected number 21 for iPod Nano, N for Normal build. Configure went perfectly (so it seems), Makefile was created.

- I typed make.. Makefile generated dependencies (correctly? more than 2Mbytes!), started to compile some module (lang.c ok, apps/action.c ok, ....). Alarm_menu.c gave the undefs as said 

I tested other configuration too, such as Sandisk E200, but without luck.

As additional info, I normally use Cygwin to compile (successfully) for Palm Os using the arm-palmos-gcc.

Could you kindly help?

My knowledge in cross-compiling is average.

Thank you in advance,

Romano

Did you try multiple different target configurations in the same build dir? Might be worth trying a "make clean" if you did.
This is using unmodified source?

posting the exact error message might also help, my crystal ball is on winter vacation ...

Tried make clean, took quite a lot of time (old good Athlon XP 2500+ with 1.5Gb RAM), --> no luck

Tried target 21 (ipod Nano 1G) and target 50, Normal Build, similar error. I will post the exact error below.

Tried target 21, Bootloader Build --> Ok

Tried target 21, Advanced+Profile Build --> no luck (same error in alarm_menu.c)

Unmodified source.

Tnx for your time.


For bluebrother:

this is the output of:

May be some issue with Base package in Cygwin?

Tnx.

did you ran make clean between the various builds selected? Bootloader and Rockbox have to be considered different builds.

[rberna]

Actually I tried in this order, all from inside "build" directory

make clean
../tools/configure (select 21, N)
make   (--> error)

make clean
../tools/configure (select 21, B)
make (--> ok)

I tried to use a different name for build directory (named "foo"), but the result is the same.
 

Update:
Running Cygwin setup.exe, I noted that the translation CRLF was set as DOS and not as Unix (RECOMMENDED). Could this be the problem? In the meanwhile I am doing a clean reinstall of Cygwin...

PROBLEM SOLVED, it was really the CRLF setting. Sorry for being so idiot. Tnx to everyone for the help.
