How To Patch and Compile Tutorial (From WINDOWS)

[mipodr]

I tried those. They didn't work. I tried it with slashes going BOTH ways. Niether worked. I tried in the address bar, and I tried in run, and in IE. I said thank you. And I found my own way that allows me to access it easily on My Computer.  I'm sorry for using Thx. Thanks again for all your help.

Oh god, why wont this work. I tried to do ../tools/configure/    but it says no such file or directory. I checked in /user/home/rockbox-devel/build_h120 through windows, and there was no tools/configure in it. So i went back a folder and found that there was the all those files and one was a tools with a configure in it. I then copied all of thosefolders into build_h120. It still wouldn't work... no such file/directory. I restarted vmplayer. No luck. I then copied it back where it should be so there is a copy of those folders in rockbox-devel and build_h120. again i tried, no luck. Restarted... no luck. Help? I'm sorry for being stupid.

I dont seem to be able to download the Debian 2.7z file. It started downloading, then hung for 1/2 an hour.  

I attempted to restart, but to no avail.

you have to stick closely to the guide. All the steps have to be done in a terminal window in vmware. Don't copy files around! Just do a cvs checkout in VMware, move to that folder in a terminal window with "cd", then do the steps mentioned in the wiki. If you copied the source tree from windows you have to do a chmod 777 * -R in your source directory first (described in the wiki, too).

Could you add to the first post that

make 2> error.txt

creates an error.txt file in the make_H100 directory?

just wanted to thank you for the wonderful tutorial  
but i found one minor practically insignigicant error:

3.4 Now type in the following
Code:
../tools/configure
A bunch of choices should appear. Find the music player that you wish to put this on, and type in the number corresponding to that music player. Example: Type in "15" (no quotes) for the iPod Video. Another bit of text will appear, just type in "n" (no quotes) for normal.

ipod video is 22

I wasn't having problems for a while, but now when I put \\debian\user
in the address bar, nothing comes up. I don't know what going on  

thanks if anyone could point me in the right direction

 Often when I have this problem, opening VMware will fix it. So now I open VMWare first.

im having trouble with step 2.6. Reading back in the forum, apparently messing with the network settings could fix this? is there a more specific fix?

[pabouk]

Do you have problems accessing \\debian\user? Bascule already had the same problems so please read the suggestions here: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=6772.msg56424#msg56424

Short answer: Yes, it is related to the TCP/IP networking.

I managed to install all the files correctly, log on and open up the terminal but when i insert the text line "cvs -z3 -d:pserver:username@www.rockbox.org:/cvsroot/rockbox co rockbox-devel" I get the following error message (http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u248/bennie_t/wmvaretroubleshoot-1.jpg), if anyone can help me with this i will gladly make them a theme or something, I know its not much but I'm not very good with linux.

Use

"cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@www.rockbox.org:/cvsroot/rockbox co rockbox-devel"

[bluebrother]

"cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@www.rockbox.org:/cvsroot/rockbox co rockbox-devel"

Won't work. We now use svn, and cvs access has been disabled. You need to use svn instead.

svn co svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk rockbox

i want to try to patch and i do not have the required 2 gigabytes of space to Extract the Debian 2.7z. all i have is about 1 gig left. my ipod has over 15gb extra space. instead of doing the step 1.1 (isted below) ould i make a folder called vmware in the root of my ipod and download all of the required files there? would this work?

1.1 Go into your C:\ drive and make a new folder named "vmware" (no quotes). This is just for orginization.

You could but I would like to discourage you.
A - Your iPod is a slow drive, and that will affect performance.
B - Your iPod is a short-lived (compared to a desktop 3.5" drive) bloody expensive external drive, and I would be trying to minimize its usage.
C - I would consider only 1GB of drive space on my primary computer an issue which needs resolved, not ignored.
