How To Patch and Compile Tutorial (From WINDOWS)
Looking for Help:
--- Quote from: dunno on June 09, 2006, 07:12:25 PM ---after loging into rockbox's cvs server I get this warning
cvs login: warning: Failed to open /home/user/. cvspass for reading: no such file or directory.
now i guess that I'm supposed to have these direcotries in C:\, but isnt vmware supposed to have created the required directories.
totally lost here

VMware player should automatically install into C:\. Not sure why it didn't...
dunno:
I have put the patches in the rockbox-devel direcotry, I run "dir" in vmware and it sees the files there.
here's where I am stuck
whe I type in "patch --dry-run -p0 < playlist_catalog_4.diff , it returns "No such file or directory"
below are the diferent syntax's that I have tried.
patch -p0 < /rockbox-devel/patchname
patch -p0 < /patchname
now, why does it "see" the files if I do a "dir" and not when I patch ?
(I get vmware to compile a normal version no problems)

Did you cd to the rockbox-devel folder?
--- Code: ---cd rockbox-devel
--- End code ---
Type that in first.
dunno:
yes I did cd rockbox-devel and thats where it would see the patch files if i did "dir", or do you mean I needed to cd rockbox-devel twice ?
but......
I have decided to stop struggling with this, and removed vmware, although this was just a "for fun project", I am dissapointed that I didn't get it to run.
thanks for your help.
p.s.
I'll try again after the feature freeze if my pet patches dont get incorporated.

Why would you be executing a "dir" command? Do you even know how to get into that folder? Can you even access \\debain\user ? Apparently not...
You probably missed a step, or the patches are defective. If you got a bunch of messages when trying to patch that say "Hunk 1: FAILED" or something like that, the patches are bad. Sorry that this didn't work for you.
