AlexP:
I'm sorry, but I don't understand.  To install cygwin, you should follow the guide here: 

http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CygwinInstallWithScreenShots

then you get the source with SVN:

http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/UsingSVN

and for patching:

* soap thinks the VMWare image is infinitely easier than cygWin.

AlexP:
I agree, but he seemed to have already started with cygwin - however the post was hard to follow so that may not be the case.

If not, the VMWare guide is at

http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VMwareDevelopmentPlatform

soap:
There appears to be a great deal of apprehension over using VMWare, perhaps because (when all is said and done) you're working in Linux, and with cygwin you're working "in Windows"?

If so I argue this is a false fear, the learning curve is equal between them, and the VMware setup is infinitely easier IMHO, and unless you have a need/desire for using native Windows tools to work on the source (and you likely know if you do) VMWare is just simpler.

cdrik:
ok… thank you… to install VMWare was simpler for me than install of CygWin.
I still do not know how to join the file .diff saratoga (thank you)... as I begin I am a little awkward. in roxboxVM after "xshells" and" Etern " appears:" user@debien: $" I do what to put the file .diff
but for "frensh keybord" it's ok
