Not that I am aware of.

It really isn't that difficult to set up a build environment

Monkeytree:
Ok now I have set up the environment.

But I don't know which build it was in September or November 2009.

Thanks

Monkeytree,

Unfortunately I can't give you an exact revision number, or I would.

However, you can use the search feature in the SVN Repository to narrow the possibilities down to a range.

When you load the page linked above, simply enter the dates you wish to search between in the "From:" and "To:" sections (don't worry about the other fields, only the from/to dates are required in this case).
*It is important to note that there will be 100's (if not 1000's) of possible revisions in the field of "September to November" but it's a lot better than guessing.

I hope this helps you in some way (I'm trying...believe me  ;D), learning to compile Rockbox and apply patches is definitely a worthwhile experience.

Monkeytree:
OK now I've compiled r23365 .
In the beginning with the same problems.
Database not ready .
Can't open folders and plugins.

Then I changed some things in general settings.
- Sort Case Sensitive = Yes
- Directory Cache = Yes
- USB HID = No

Finally I can open folders an play music.

When I open a music file (mp3) there is an error which says "error accsessing playlist control"
If I now start My Ipod there comes " No partition found. Insert USB Cable and fix it"
If I now want to open a plugin it says Incompatible model.
After some Hard resets it starts normally.

Thanks Monkeytree

Hmmmmmm,

I really don't know what else to say...
My iPod Nano 2nd Gen seems to work absolutely fine with the current build (r24393 as of now) with only two minor changes to the default settings, those being:

1: Changing line 77 of "Root"/firmware/common in the rockbox source code from:

static long dircache_stack[(DEFAULT_STACK_SIZE + 0x900)/sizeof(long)];

to

static long dircache_stack[(DEFAULT_STACK_SIZE + 0x1900)/sizeof(long)];


2: USB HID = OFF (USB HID = ON has *never* worked for me in any revision that I've tried...)

Perhaps these settings will work for you as well?
All the other setting I have in my config file are either purely cosmetic, or personal preference.
From my experience with the Nano 2nd Gen port, I really can't understand why some people seem to have so many problems with it...Some even describe it as "Unusably Buggy". I've had some problems with it, sure, but USB HID and DirCache have been the only persistent annoyances (for me anyway) and both of those may be turned off.

Am I just lucky?!?

PS: If you choose to edit the Rockbox Source files, you will need an editor that does not change the line endings of the files. I use SciTE which you can get from here
