Rockbox for MeeGoo (Nokia N9)

The maemo instructions assume some familiarity with general maemo development

paulheu:
I understand that.. but I can be a quick study.. ;)

Hi,

unfortunately, I did not find time earlier to play around with RaaA and the Nokia N9. However, tonight I started to try some basic things. The instructions on how to set up the scratchbox development environment for the Nokia N9 can be found here. With that you should be able to get into scratchbox,

Next (from now one everything from within scratchbox), one needs to install libsdl:


--- Code: ---apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev
--- End code ---

Having done that, I got the maemo rockbox sources from here. I modified the configure script to exclude the sanity checks if and which maemo libs are installed. This has been done to just try a Maemo-based compilation. In the configure script I selected then the N900 build. After that I I tried to compile. Without the file modifications the process now looks like:


--- Code: ---git clone http://repo.or.cz/w/maemo-rb.git/
cd maemo-rb
# edit tools/configure to exclude sanity checks in maemocc()
mkdir build
cd build
../tools/configure
make dep
make

--- End code ---

The compilation generates an error when trying to access libplayback which isn't available for MeeGo:


--- Code: ---CC firmware/target/hosted/maemo/pcm-gstreamer.c
/home/tom/maemo-rb/firmware/target/hosted/maemo/pcm-gstreamer.c:44: fatal error: libplayback/playback.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [/home/tom/maemo-rb/build/firmware/target/hosted/maemo/pcm-gstreamer.o] Error 1

--- End code ---

I have no idea (yet), what to use in MeeGo instead of this, but I will play around with it the upcoming days. Suggestions and hints are very welcome.

Cheers,
Tom

Thanks for that.. I moved to Windowsphone (Lumia 800) myself however so I guess that excludes me from RockBox.. for now..

paulheu:

With Meego now gone from Nokia and a new startup continuing the work with new devices coming it might be interesting to see if they would be interested to bring in RockBox as their default audioplayer.

No rush, just do it _now_ ;^)
