Compiling error that won't go away!!!
« on: February 14, 2009, 11:33:00 AM »
I've been trying to compile rockbox, and I've been succesfull setting it up, with the help of the ScreenshotCygwin and SimpleGuideToCompiling tutorial. Anyway, every single time I try to compile, I get this:

Code: [Select]
make: *** No rule to make target `/rockbox/build/apps/bitmaps/native/rockbox/bui
ldlogo.132x40x16.o', needed by `/rockbox/build/rockbox.elf'.  Stop.

HELP! I really want to compile rockbox for my C250...

Thats a pretty generic error meaning something in the build process went wrong.  Try make clean, make veryclean, rerunning configure in a new folder or reverting any changes you've made to your SVN checkout.

Thanks for the reply! I downloaded my source from the releases page - the link called "Source Archives". How do you run make clean? Just type it in?

Another thing to try then would be using SVN (see the wiki entry on it).

Instead of "make" or "make zip" type "make clean".  If you open the Makefile, you can see all the options in it.

I've downloaded the SVN with tortouseSVN. Now, when I type make I get something that goes like this:

This Subversion client is too old too be used...

You should probably use the SVN client included in the developer tools.

You installed them when you followed the SimpleGuideToCompiling wiki.

If you followed the instructions, you also installed SVN with cygwin.  If you installed cygwin but didn't follow the instructions, just uninstall it and this time follow the instructions on the wiki page.

Using TortoiseSVN in conjunction with Cygwin might give interesting results due to the line ending conversion the clients do. Use the command line client from Cygwin if you want to work on Cygwin.

The local repository format changed between svn 1.4 and 1.5. Most likely the Cygwin client is 1.4 and Tortoise is 1.5. Then your checkout has 1.5 format but the client invoked by the build system can't work with it.

Thanks! I'm running make now -- well see if it throws an error! :)

Edit: it did the same thing only slightly different:
Code: [Select]
make: *** No rule to make target `/rockbox/build/apps/bitmaps/native/rockbox/bui
ldlogo.132x40x16.o', needed by `/rockbox/build/rockbox.elf'.  Stop.
rm /rockbox/build/apps/bitmaps/native/rockboxlogo.132x40x16.c /rockbox/build/app
s/bitmaps/native/usblogo.128x37x16.c /rockbox/build/apps/bitmaps/native/default_
icons.6x8x16.c
