Using UI Simulator under Linux, no audio playback

Hello!

I'm trying to play with UI simulator of sansa clip+. I started from sources, checked out the latest svn revision (using git-svn) and built the simulator. It went fine, except few same errors:

--- Code: ---fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD^..': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions

--- End code ---

Despite of these fatal errors it built rockboxui anyways. Then I extracted the latest sansa clip+ build (http://build.rockbox.org/data/rockbox-sansaclipplus.zip) to simdisk directory. Also, I copied some audio files there, and when I tried to play I got:

--- Code: ---failed to load /.rockbox/codecs/mpa.codec
lc_open(/.rockbox/codecs/mpa.codec): simdisk/.rockbox/codecs/mpa.codec: invalid ELF header
Codec load error
failed to load /.rockbox/libtemp_binary_0.dll
lc_open(/.rockbox/libtemp_binary_0.dll): simdisk/.rockbox/libtemp_binary_0.dll: invalid ELF header
error loading codec
--- End code ---

It immediately created this libtemp_binary_0.dll, which didn't exist before I run rockboxui the first time. This is a Windows library, why was it created when I use linux?

You can't run a build for the Clip+ on your PC unless your PC is also a clip+.  The clip has an ARM9 CPU, your PC probably has an Intel or AMD processor :)

You need to install a simulator build (a build of rockbox compiled for a linux PC).  To do that do:

make
make install
./rockboxui

but there is no Windows for ARM9, and I hardly believe there is one for sansa clip :) Why it tries to use dll's?

I did "make install", but nothing changed, I get the same errors.

UPD: Oh, i think I got it now. Besides the simulator, I need to build rockbox for x86 too :)

UPD2: But what do I choose in configure? (N)ormal build, (A)dvanced or something else? I tried with Normal:

--- Code: ---$ ../tools/configure
...
62
Platform set to sansaclipplus
Build (N)ormal, (A)dvanced, (S)imulator, (B)ootloader, (C)heckWPS, (D)atabase tool, (M)anual: (Defaults to N)

It doesn't use Windows dlls, just some files have that file extension.

Thats because you can only install a sim build, and thats not a sim build you configured.  Rerun configure and this time choose sim.

Sim == Simulator build (runs on PCs)
Normal == Build for your player

But I did it the first time. Let's start from scratch:

--- Code: ---$ mkdir simulator-build-2
$ cd simulator-build-2
$ ../tools/configure
...
Platform set to sansaclipplus
Build (N)ormal, (A)dvanced, (S)imulator, (B)ootloader, (C)heckWPS, (D)atabase tool, (M)anual: (Defaults to N)
S
Simulator build selected
Using source code root directory: ~/rockbox.svn.git
Linux host detected
Enabling MMX support
Simulator environment deemed little endian
Created a 'simdisk' subdirectory for simulating the hard disk
Using gcc 4.4.3 (404)
Using ld 2.20.1.20100303
Created Makefile
$ make
...
$ make install
$ ./rockboxui
Can't open font: /.rockbox/fonts/08-Rockfont.fnt
read_bmp_file: can't open '/.rockbox/icons/viewers.bmp', rc: -1

--- End code ---

Now trying to play some mp3. In UI it showed something like "Can't find .rockbox, installation incomplete". And again:

--- Code: ---lc_open(/.rockbox/codecs/mpa.codec): simdisk/.rockbox/codecs/mpa.codec: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Codec load error

--- End code ---
