Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling

Building using Wiki's VMWare Image doesn't work

<< < (2/3) > >>

torne:
"build system" refers to the makefiles and scripts used to compile Rockbox, not the host OS on which you run those scripts. We know our VMware image is outdated, but nobody has had the time to do anything about it yet.

Using CMake doesn't magically make Windows able to compile for arm-eabi and able to run all of our build-time tools.

mydani:
You're right, CMake is only an additional layer to create makefiles for different makefile processors. The tools like compiler, linker, flash-merge, etc. still have to be available for the specific platform.
Forget about my hint.

saratoga:
I actually updated the VMware image a couple months ago, and it was working then.  Which image did you download?

mydani:
Hi,
the one linked on this site:
http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/VMwareDevelopmentPlatform
Download the Rockbox VMware image (~ 217 MB) from this URL:
http://duke.edu/~mgg6/rockbox/rockbox-image.7z

Currently I'm building the ARM compiler in the image linked in one of the sticky threads in this forum.

saratoga:
Strange, thats the image I uploaded.  It contains the current version of the rockbox ARM compiler.
