Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling

Setting up Build Environment

(1/2) > >>

Stringrazor:
I have been trying to follow the guide at http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/LinuxSimpleGuideToCompiling and it's anything but simple. I am using a Virtualbox Unbuntu 9.10 image. First off, I could not install SVN. apt-get would download some libs but not others("unable to fetch some archives"). Yes, I googled and tried a bunch of suggested fixes bit nothing worked. I finally installed RapidSVN and succeeded in checking out the code.

Now, sudo apt-get install build-essential libc6-dev texinfo libgmp3-dev libmpfr-dev is giving me the same "unable to fetch some archives" messages.

I've already spent way more time than I should have on this. I am not  a Linux app dev. Can someone please help me out?

Chronon:
Just to be sure, you were trying to install "subversion" not "SVN", right?

People will be able to provide more detailed help if you tell us exactly which packages aren't installing.

Stringrazor:
Yes, I meant subversion.

Here's the latest roadblock:

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

saratoga:
Do you have internet access in the VM?  It looks like nothing downloaded.

Stringrazor:
yes, I have access. Some things had already downloaded. That was the 4th or 5th time I ran the command. As I mentioned, I was able to Dl & install RapidSVN and using that checkout the RB code, so I indeed have internet access.
