How do I edit the Gigabeat Flashwriter to accept my checksum? Is it safe?

ok, my installation does not have a plugins folder in the apps.  How do I prepare the flashwriter? Do I need to compile/change filename, or do I save it as a .rock? I tried saving as .rock, and it said it was unsupported.

Either you didn't check out the source code properly, or you're not looking at the rockbox source code.

Did you read the replies the first time you asked this question?  The answer hasn't changed ;)

oo, so there is the problem. I wasn't looking at the source code. So I saved the .c file to the plugins folder, but I don't know how to edit the sources folder. (I'm sorry for being so irritating). It would be much easier if I had my ubuntu desktop available right now. Im compiling from windows.

Its a file, not a folder, and just edit it with any texteditor.  You'll need to add a line for you new .c file.  Should be pretty obvious once you look at the file.

Ok, so I put it under "sources common to all platforms", and I followed the instructions of the "How to compile" FAQ. However, this is what I get. :
