Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling

*New to Development/Compiling* RE: Menu Structure

Hi,


I'm brand new to the development/compiling side of things (as in I've literally *just* installed the Cygwin Environment a few hours ago  ;D

And My question is this (and I do realise this has probably been asked and answered a fair few times by now so I do apologise in advance), How do I go about altering the Menu Structure of RockBox?

I assume it involves "# commenting" out threads somewhere in the inner structure of RockBox, but I'd like to know where do I find these threads, what does the naming/thread structure look like (approximately) and how do I navigate to their location using Cygwin?

The more direct answers on how to do specific "Menu Customisation Related" things the better, so as well as answering this question directly, the more links/forum threads related to this subject that people can point Me to the better, as then I won't have to continually come to the forums asking (seemingly basic, to most developers at least) questions every time I encounter something I don't understand.


So to sum up, to answer this question directly would be great, and the more "Appearance/Menu Structure Related" resources that people can point Me to the better!

Thanks in advance,

Sincerely,
[St.]

GodEater:
So you've installed cygwin successfully - well done ;)

Have you managed to check out the code from svn yet?

PS - Seriously, what's up with all the capitalisation of "me", "my", "you" etc.?

Man.....I just PM'd JDGordon regarding Him getting seemingly quite agitated at the same thing.

I suppose it comes down to Your physical locality in the world.
In New Zealand (where I'm from) it's commonly accepted that words pertaining to oneself or another begin with a capital letter (like I, Me, My, You , Yours, You're.....You get the picture I'm sure), just the same as first and last names do.

If You've grown up all Your life learning "Americanised" English, apparently this isn't the case.

And I have noticed more and more, "Americanised" words creeping into Our schools vocabulary of late.

I'm 25 and passed English quite successfully at a Secondary School (Colledge Grad if You're in The States) level and have been taught this was correct all of that time.

I guess, as I said, this comes down to which "version" of English You are used to  ;)


And regarding looking at the RockBox Source, I downloaded it from SVN last night.....but to be honest, without at least a vague idea of approximately where to start looking for the menu structure it seems a little bit daunting at the moment.

Are there any links, threads, resources I could be directed to?

Thanks for the speedy reply  ;D

Sincerely,

I'm Australian, godeater is English, and you were taught incorrectly wrongly!. He obviously was taught well, just incorrect material.

From Your perspective perhaps...yes.
From Mine, no.
I'm sure You could come to NZ and try to convince them to change the school curriculum if it were really that important to You, but I doubt it actually is.

I didn't make the post to discuss grammar.

Can anybody *please* help Me regarding the location of the attributes that define the menu structure and how to rearrange or remove menu entries in order to create a simplified/custom build?


Sincerely,

PS: Thanks for the edit Scorch, but again I think whether it's right or wrong comes down to geographical location, and I guess perspective.
But I don't want to get into a debate about this......really.
