OK, so permissions are going to be all wrong. If this is a git checkout (and you haven't edited any files), run "git reset --hard" first.

If you still have problems then, try following bluebrother's advice.

Likely line endings as well. On Windows msysgit defaults to enable line ending conversion (core.autocrlf = true) which will produce windows line endings. If I remember correctly Linux shells usually don't like those. So if things still fail you can try to convert it using "dos2unix rockboxdev.sh" before running it.

In general I strongly recommend to not use a checkout that's on a non-native filesystem for any OS. So if you're using Linux clone the repository on Linux. If you're on Windows clone it on Windows. Unless you exactly know what you're doing and are aware of the pitfalls :)
