Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling

After compiling I get version "unknown-090414"

(1/2) > >>

Portasmith:
Compiled on Vista x64 inside Cygwin.  Compile went great, install went great, works great.

But the version is reported as "unknown-090414"

I built from r20707 sources, so why does it show "unknown?"  How can I add the version information?

Thanks.

saratoga:
Did you check out the code from SVN or download a tar?

Portasmith:
I downloaded the 7z from http://build.rockbox.org/

Everytime I tried to get the SVN, it would freeze at tools/release/README.  It did that both in Debian GNU/Linux as well as in Windows with QSvn.

I download OpenWrt and Miranda IM from SVN all the time with no problems, so I don't know why svn would freeze while downloading Rockbox.

Why will compiling from a tarball (or the 7z files) not give me the revision number?

saratoga:
My guess is that it needs SVN in order to get the revision number.

Portasmith:
Well, thanks for the help. :)  I'll see if I can get SVN going

EDIT: Yep, downloaded from SVN did it.  Got a version number now. :D Thanks.
