ipodpatcher error for Nano 2G

Ezzard:
I'm unable to install the bootloader onto my Nano 2G. It reads:

I appreciate any help.

This is a known problem and has been fixed in svn.  If you have a Rockbox build environment set up, you can build an ipodpatcher which will work on your 2nd gen nano.

Ezzard:
Thanks for the feedback. I've just finished setting up the Rockbox build environment through VMware. I'll need some help on how to build a compatible ipod patcher. Could you give me some advice on how to start? I've read the site wiki, and looked through the forums.

I'm thinking that perhaps I should continue this thread in the Starting Development and compiling section.

saratoga:
I'm not sure if you can actually patch an ipod from inside Vmware, and I don't think you actually need the rockbox dev tools, just gcc. 

The easiest way is probably to install cygwin (checking the gcc box when you do) and then browse to the ipodpatcher source and type "make".  Then run the binary from inside the cygwin shell  I've never tried this on Windows though. 

Edit:  Maybe it is possible in vmware.  I've always had USB problems, but that may just be me.

Ezzard:
Alright, I installed cygwin just in case. Anyways, when I tried to download from http://download.rockbox.org/cygwin/, I got the error regarding the missing .sig file. The wiki says "...supply the -X (--no-verify) command-line flag when using Cygwin's setup.exe." This can be added into the command-line invocation in a Windows shortcut, for convenience. " This may sound silly, but where would I insert -X?
