Building using Wiki's VMWare Image doesn't work

Hello all,

first post!
I followed the documentation in the WIKI, setup everything as described and now I'm facing this problem with the latest Rockbox sources (trunk):


--- Code: ---debian:/home/user/Rockbox/build# make
svn: This client is too old to work with working copy '/home/user/Rockbox'; please get a newer Subversion client
svn: This client is too old to work with working copy '/home/user/Rockbox/tools'; please get a newer Subversion client
Generating dependencies
: bad interpreter: No such file or directoryir.pl: /usr/bin/perl
make: *** No rule to make target `/home/user/Rockbox/build/make.dep', needed by `all'.  Stop.
debian:/home/user/Rockbox/build#

--- End code ---

What am I doing wrong here?

Regards,
Daniel

nls:
That VM is severely outdated, you are better off getting a vanilla VM of some linux distro and following the guide for setting up a development environment on linux. I know ubuntu VM images are available at least.

Okay, I'm currently trying the one spread in the other thread. Maybe this one will work out of the box.
Introduction of CMake would maybe be  a good idea... :-D

How would cmake suddenly work around svn version issues or fixing perl?

Seriously, our build system works pretty well...

mydani:
I don't decline that your build system is pretty good! You misunderstood my intention a little bit I think. I made this suggestion just because I like the idea of being able to create projects for many existing and used IDEs out there, and I guess CMake is a nice option for the guys wanting to develop on Windows.

BTW: the prefered "build system" linked in the Wiki doesn't work too well, so please forgive me my statement.
