How To Patch and Compile Tutorial (From WINDOWS)

[eK3eKyToPa]

When installing i look for "HUNK#1 failed at..." and it is OK. Nothing failed .
The only change is that now the .m2v files now have to be opened with Open with... and not automaticali by pressing only select button

A couple of other things that you could try:

1.  After running "make zip," check the date and time on the .zip file.  The date and time should be the date and time that you ran "make zip."  If it's older, then you didn't correct make the zip file.

2.  Rename your current .rockbox directory and erase your current rockbox.ipod file.  Then extract the zip file to your player again.  Start Rockbox.  If you've extracted the files correctly, Rockbox will start.  If you get a "-1" error, then you've done something wrong in extracting the files.

1. The zip fille is with correct date and time
2. After putting the new rockbox files the ipod starts normally exept that may configurations and themes are not there and still the .m2v file are not asociated with mpegplayer

By installing do you mean compiling or patching?

You have patched the source right? by using patch -p0 < nameofpatch.diff
it is after using this command you may get failed hunks.
Post a little .png screenshot of what you are getting after entering this command.

if some hunks of the patch failed the whole build is unlikely compile at all. So I guess the patch (the patches?) wasn't applied at all.

Ahh, true, but if all the hunks fail then nothing will apply and you will have a fresh cvs rockbox!

1. The doom_scroll patch didn't apply cleanly since the patch is claimed to be malformed

2. customline should be patched with -p1

3. you should learn to use tab completion ;-)

4. geez the movie was sloooow. Does it really that that long to build for you?

Then I fell asleep and messed up and it was just too slow and I can't seem to fast forward so... the rest slipped me.

[Mmmm]

Well the first error is a malformed patch the second is that it cant find the files to patch - Why couldn't you see these errors? Chopper seems to apply fine.

so forget about doom scroll, It's not going to work, try p1 with customline as bagder said

Even though the chopper patch applies fine it still doesnt compile. When it has finished compiling there are compiling errors (look for the word ERROR). So forget about that patch too, it won't work.

I'm a bit confused as to why I have had to sit here for 30 minutes looking at your video just so that I can read the error messages for you...Don't you look at the screen after you type something in? The response on screen after hitting the enter button is there for a reason... read it! When you've read it, if you dont understand what it means then that is what you post as being the problem in the forum.. you don't just keep ploughing through error after error and then just come out with 'it doesnt work'.......

OK rant over...I feel better now...30 minutes of watching slow motion compiling was just too much for me! I had to get that out of my system...We should put a health warning next to the link!

When something is put in patches <--- (in the left ) does it mean that it work because just what i want much it does not work
And sorry for the sloooow movie
but how i can get the copper game and doom scroll patch working because i want them
I'm reading the errors but dont know what they means
The custom line is not working with -p0 ; -p1 ; -p2 ; -p3 ; -p4 ;-p5
And why after some useing of VMware player the directory \\Debian\user dose not open and can't pach enymore
Sorry for the mess in my questions

Yes, the person who submits it preferably has it working but there's no guarantees that it works for you for your target. The good patches do, the bad patches don't.

Then come aging so that the good patch grows bad because changes in the code made it no longer apply cleanly no matter how good it was when submitted.

So you MUST read what patch says when you apply a patch.

Hi.

Dunno if you can lend a hand. I cant seem to access the \\debian\user in explorer. It worked for bit, but now it keeps coming up with an error:

\\debian\user is not accessible. You might not have permissions to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

The network path was not found.

I can access it via VMWare fine just not in explorer. Do i need to re-login, if so, how do i bring up the login box?

[Rincewind]

try to reset your virtual machine.
And disable personal firewall if you have any.
if it is a login problem (from win -> vwmware), then try to access the share via network neighbourhood; there you have to navigate until you find the computer "debian".
if you can't find it this way, search for the computer name "debian".

This normally works for me.
