Testing new VMWare Image...

[scorche]

Once more, can people compile sims alright?  I think that is the last thing with this image that hasn't had a positive test yet and is keeping it from being distributed.

i'll do anything you ask for as long as you tell me how i can (permanently) change the keyboard layout to qwertz german and be able to copy paste between host and vmware.
PS: while we're at it: how do i enter the filesystem using windows? i can only get to the root directory mounting it to network drive using "ip"/root but "ip"/filesystem doesn't work. how would i go about doing that?

NOTE: The ARM compilers in the image have NOT been updated. If you use ARM, you must run 'sudo tools/rockboxdev.sh' from the root of your rockbox source checkout to update them.



I can't update the ARM compilers.

If you're in a different folder then you'll have to type a different path.

I updated the current VM image to support ARM by default.  Its still pretty awful though.

The current VMware image, or the one that this thread was initially started for?

The former.  I just downloaded it from the wiki, compiled the new arm compiler, and then uploaded it.  

FWIW I think starting with a full ubuntu image might be a good approach.  Having gnome is quite handy if you actually want to do development.  Although it would probably add at least 150 MB to the zip size.

I always started with a fresh, basic installation of Debian and then installed everything from there - I used fluxbox because it did the job of a WM just fine while something like Gnome would add significantly more to the zip size.  Starting with a full Ubuntu image would (I would imagine) have quite a substantial image to need to download.  The image in the OP of this thread was already bigger than I and downloaders typically like.

What's the status on this one?

I like the VMware environment better than the VirtualBox one - but the VMware image I can download using the development guide instructions seems to be maybe a little bit outdated (build fails, in another thread (Clip+) in this forum).
