Make minor change and Compile
mild4u:
I want to make some changes to apps/keymaps/keymap-e200.c so I can use UP and Down buttons to scroll. I followed this http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/LinuxSimpleGuideToCompiling
The process was completed but my changes didn't work and looks like I will need some trials to get it working.
This one step in the document above:
Now, type cd rockbox/tools. Type chmod +x rockboxdev.sh, then type sudo ./rockboxdev.sh. You will be asked to choose the platform you want to compile for. If you are unsure, type s m a e i. This will prepare your computer to be able to build for all Rockbox targets. However, this will take much longer to prepare than a single platform, so if you know your target, just type the corresponding letter and continue.
Now my question is:
Do I have to follow the above step everytime after I make changes to keymap-e200.c or that is just needed once and then upon subsequent changes, I simply need to compile again and make zip?
I believe I just need to compile but want to double check. And what exactly the above step does?
saratoga:
That just builds gcc. You only have to do that once.
mild4u:
Thank you.
After going through all the hassel of virtualbox,SVN and all setups I hope I will achieve what I want.
Post Merge: August 15, 2011, 11:25:19 PMWhat would be the smallest possible change I can do which could be visible instantly after installing the new build.
I want to make sure my build process is correct because till now I made few changes and installed new build but I don't see any results.
Chronon:
If you get a working binary as the result of running "make" then the process was successful. A rather simple and visible change would be to change the splash screen that gets displayed while Rockbox boots.

Thanks but I couldn't find a decent example on how to change the splash screen. Any docs links or help?
