Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling

N00b Question

(1/3) > >>

SpawnHyuuga:
So, I found something on using TortoiseSVN:

I want to make a folder, and I guess from what I've read I can make a "repository" folder, and just get the files that way. I don't want to install some client program, and stuff to browse the repository. All I want is an easy way to copy the source files and modify them to my own content. I tried using TortoiseSVN like this:

I created a folder, named it Rockbox just to simplify it.
I right click the folder, select SVN Checkout.
I tried this URL in the box for the location of the SVN: http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi
Then I can modify the Checkout Depth, the revision - don't think that matters...click okay...

ERROR: Repository moved permanently to '/viewvc.cgi/'; please relocate

Do I really have to complicate this and install a client or is there a different link I can use? I would love to just see a .rar of the source files for each build put somewhere. I have no intentions of just wanting to enter the repository and take files, modify them and resubmit - I just want the source, to modify it - and then patch it into flyspray.

The dev tools come with SVN.  Its just a single line to check out the entire source:

Don't bother with TortoiseSVN.  Its complicated and unnecessary.

I have Notepad++ to code and stuff, but all I want to do is download the source code once, look at it, whatever I'm going to do with it. I don't really want to have to install some BS SVN Client or anything.

I only installed TortoiseSVN because it was small... >.<
But right now it's all a pain.

funman:
You need svn to download the source

SpawnHyuuga:
So is there just some easy-to-use, small client that I can use? I thought TortoiseSVN would work - but it's nothing but a....
