Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling
How To Patch and Compile Tutorial (From WINDOWS)
XavierGr:
Nice guide there.
More info about the VMware development platform here:
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VMwareDevelopmentPlatform
It is nice to know that this image is finaly used by newcomers.
As you, in the start I didn't know how to build rockbox, after reading the wiki and setting up a Cygwin enviroment I was disappointed by its speed (cygwin is slow!).
Someone on #rockbox mentioned about setting a VMware enviroment and I liked the idea. As a linux newbie it was a little hard for me to create this image, thanks to all the devs I managed to stick on 184mb, a whole OS with all Rockbox development tools.
I am gratefull to amiconn too, which updated the package with the new archos tool chain and of course Bagder and Mikachu that host the file.

your rockboy patches work great for the 5G. Now is there any way to add to an existing patched build or do you have to make a new one every time?
Looking for Help:

Your CVS should be all patched up. You can keep adding to it, and the other patches should still be there. If you want to delete all current patches and start fresh, just delete the entire "rockbox-devel" folder, then redownload it with the "cvs -z3 -d:pserver..." command.
