iBasso DX50
sduck:
RBNB, you should really pursue this on the Headfi forum page - this is the wrong place for this.

Hey All,
I am an embedded firmware developer with a masters in DSP and recently purchased a DX90 as it were being lauded on HeadFi especially with Rockbox and I am all about music :D Installed the latest greatest port and for the most part it works well. The reason I am here is because I would like to get started contributing to this effort to make the DX90 por better. One thing I really need to fix (atleast for my own device) is the sensitivity of the touch screen. Just doesn't work very well among a few other things I would like to tweak.
I am on a Mac and tried installing the cross compiler etc according to the instructions in the wiki and couldn't get it to build so I went into my Windows 8.1 VM under parallels and installed Cygwin 64-bit and again, no luck with it erroring out halfway through building the cross-compiler. Installed Cygwin 32-bit and bingo, cross-compiler installed... very good, feeling lucky. Next step I assume is to build RB however the wiki mentions (and upon trying to run configure) needing the Android NDK but states Android 16. I have never worked with android or the NDK and so excuse my ignorance but on the website for installing Android NDK i see no version 16, only versions up to 10d. Would someone please mind to nudge me toward the proper version of the NDK to install?

Could anyone point me to the appropriate Android NDK download needed to build this using the latest 32-bit cygwin? Google only has the latest 10something up and I wasn't aware of whether or not that would work as it seems that have totally changed compilers and everything since v10 and on. Someone mentioned 9d but I can't find the 32-bit installer. I am trying to build for DX-90 so that I can dig in and fix the touchscreen sensitivity.
I am an experienced firmware developer and would like to contribute to rockbox for the DX-90. Any help getting rolling would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if its possible to compile rockbox for the DX50 in cygwin. It was at one point, but we dropped support for it in favor of Linux/Mac/Virtualbox.
Regarding android, I think you can just use the current sdk/ndk, but the wiki says at least version 16 is needed (Jellybean).
Edit: Merged your other post. Regarding your error on the Mac, most likely this is because you need to install gcc. Apple no longer bundles it with MacOS, so in recent versions rockboxdev will fail. Here is a cached version of some instructions for installing gcc on the Mac:
