Ensureing that a build is correct

Hi Saratoga,

uummm....no, I fetched the source from here:
http://download.rockbox.org/release/3.13/rockbox-3.13.7z

I am only using 3.13 to verify, that my build system is ok,
Saratoga. NOT as a code base for further development...

...the """problem""" with the current build is, that it is
not stable...and if my player crashes it could be based
on my build system AND programming bugs...
Or get I something wrong here...

Is there something else in the info txt file, that indicates
problems with my build chain?

Best regards,
mcc

If you insist on this (which I do not recommend), I would check it out from git and see if that works.

It is very much worth noting that compared to git head, 3.13 almost certainly isn't "stable".

You're throwing away over a year's worth of bug fixes and improvements because of an essentially arbitrary build classification.

Hi Saint,

ok... I see... "stable" doesn't mean to be stable...

Ok, I installed the "current build" (that was is linked via "dev builds" in the menu
at the upper left of the web page).
Now I cannot use usb anymore.
Attaching works. But as soon as there is an access
to the device (via mount), rockbox
crashes. USB via the original firmware works
fine.

How can I ensure, that my cross compiler and my build chain works
fine before I start modifying the code?

Best regards
mcc

PS: How can I check out exactly the same code, which was used to
create the build I have now installed on my Sansa Clip ZIP?

By using our toolchain instead.
