Rockbox build to run direct on PC
tgrid:
I would love to see a version of Rockbox that runs directly on the PC. I really like the Rockbox interface and I would like something simple like that to control my home stereo system that is connected to my PC. Perhaps this is what the person who was talking about a Winamp type application was getting at.
This could be either done by a direct build native to PC or via an emulation of one of the current supported devices which is then loaded on the emulator. I am looking for something bundled and ready to go. Don't want to have to be a code developer to do it. I would prefer the first. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Tom

Download a precompiled Rockbox simulator from here, or compile one from source.
And that's Rockbox on your PC.

Hmmmm, interesting idea. But those are all for Windows. I assume I'd have to compile myself if I want it to run on Linux. Or is that not easy/possible?
LambdaCalculus:
It's easy to build a sim for your OS. Simple follow the instructions on the LinuxSimpleGuideToCompiling wiki page. Just select to build a sim instead of a normal build, and your sim will compile and be ready to run.

Thanks. I'll have to give it a whirl.... Just because I can.
