How To Patch and Compile Tutorial (From WINDOWS)

[Looking for Help]

Because it's skipping those files due to size restraints?

They're WPSes that don't match the dimensions of the screen, so they're skipped.

Sorry if this sounds like I'm just repeating Llorean, but they aren't necessary and you dont need them, so the zipped output file (called rockbox) is all you need.

wait, if the command to check out the source code doesn't work, then could you maunally download the source and unzip it to the build_h120 directory?

Oops, forgot Menu+Select into USB mode.

No, the build_h120 directory is made for compiling the source for a specific system. The rockbox-devel folder is the source.

If I have a patched build---the one for rockboy you gave out--how do I modify it, j just CD to it and patch it?

[that_asian_guy]

If it's already compiled, then you can't modify it anymore.

If you haven't deleted the rockbox-devel folder, it should be patched up from any previous patches you applied. If you restarted, however, I believe there is a way to retrieve the source from an already compiled build, search the wiki for things like...
Cygwin
CVS
VMware
...If you deleted the rockbox-devel folder, then you probably have to reapply the patches.

for the rockboy question, did you apply all 3 patches on that page, because you need all of them for that one to work.

Where do you get those three patches i only have found one

rockboy_wheel.patch

could you please link to the others

Scroll down through the rest of the page with that patch on it and in the comments section there  should be 2 more patches that you need to apply.

"\\debian\user" not found by windows problem :'(

For the people having trouble accessing //debian/user, I found it was my antivirus/firewall software. I recommend taking the guides text and saving it in notepad or the like. Then do steps 1.1-2.4, disconnect from the internet, and then turning off any firewall or antivirus program to prevent it from causing a problem and follow the saved text for the rest of the directions.

Of course, if you know how it'd be easier in the long run to configure both programs so they don't cause any problems, but that would require both knowing exactly what they are doing and knowing how to stop it. I didn't have the patience to do that, so this worked for me.

REMEMBER to turn your antivirus and/or firewall program off AFTER disconnecting from the internet, and to turn them on before reconnecting. Otherwise you put yourself at risk to any number of nasty viruses and the like.

Hey, the tutorial worked great for me. I got this to work (including patching) where I couldn't get patching to work in Cygwin. Thanks!

Been gone a while, thought I'd bump this up, saw a few posts on how to patch.
