tempe:
@ bertrik: i'm willing to look into the whole compiling procedure, but in the guide it says that it's badly outdated and should not be used until updated. so is there another way or should i wait?

evilnick:
Which guide are you following?

tempe:
this one:

http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SimpleGuideToCompiling

is there another one (for beginners)?

SimpleGuideToCompiling is outdated, but still gives you a basic idea of what you need to do.

I suggest using a VM like VirtualBox instead of Cygwin. Cygwin is hell, imho.
If you've never used a linux distro, then I suggest using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

You're going to need to open the terminal (its under 'Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal')

Type this into the terminal:

--- Quote ---sudo apt-get install subversion
sudo apt-get install texinfo
--- End quote ---

Once you have those installed you're going to need to checkout the rockbox source. From the terminal type this:

--- Quote ---svn co svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk rockbox
--- End quote ---
This will download the rockbox source to '/home/NAME/rockbox'

Create a folder called 'build' in the rockbox source directory by typing this into the terminal:

--- Quote ---cd rockbox
mkdir build
--- End quote ---

Now you're going to need to run rockboxdev.sh to install the eabi toolchain. From terminal type this:

--- Quote --- cd build
../tools/rockboxdev.sh
e
--- End quote ---
(This step can take anywhere from 20min. to 3 hours. Sometimes longer)

Please see WorkingWithPatches in the wiki to see how to apply patches.

Now we need to build rockbox. Type this into the terminal (this needs to be run in the 'Build' directory):

--- Quote ---../tools/configure
62
N
--- End quote ---
This creates the make file. Normal build.

To compile rockbox, type this into the terminal:

--- Quote ---make
make zip
--- End quote ---

Most of these steps are explained in SimpleGuideToCompiling, so be sure to read that first.
I wrote this pretty fast and assume you are using Ubuntu, have read the wiki and want to compile rockbox for the Clip+

I believe you need to compile the bootloader, since the patch changes files in the 'firmware' directory.
That is a bit more complicated, and I don't feel like explaining it in this post.
