You're almost definitely gonna need a Unix-like system to develop on. Try Ubuntu: https://ubuntu.com

I'm not sure this user is entirely prepared for the learning curve to come.

I say this in the nicest possible way.

The road ahead is long and hard if one isn't prepared to read, at all. Or, only pretend to. The links given earlier clearly explain the requirements for building, yet this is ignored. Plenty enough information has been given to help this user help themselves, it is time for that user to either sink or swim. The level of patience in this thread has been astounding, but its really not doing anyone any good.

It is time for the journey of discovery, driven by requirement, to begin.

In one of your prior posts you stated that you have an understanding of lowlevel C, but I am beginning to suspect that this isn't the case at all.

Taking that into account, you are going to have a VERY bad time if you are unfamiliar with the language, and cannot navigate our source tree.

In order to hold your hand through this experience, it would be necessary for someone to basically write the entire thing for you, and then...what's the point? If anyone here had the time and inclination to do this, it would already be done.

If you have a specific question about the Rockbox plugin API (I don't believe such functionality belongs in core), or compilation, we would be happy to address those concerns, but walking you through each and every step required to achieve this (something that I personally believe to be well above the level of your understanding, which is perfectly fine to admit) is well outside the scope of this support forum.

Please note that I am well aware that this may seem particularly harsh, but I am only trying to be realistic. I believe you think this to be a lot less effort than it actually is. For a competent developer, familiar with the language, and our source tree and flow, this is not a trivial task. For an absolute newcomer to the project, with limited or no understanding of the language and source tree, this is many hundreds of man hours work bordering on impossibility.

One should learn to walk, before they attempt to run. Get a grounding in C and familiarize yourself with our source tree and the plugin API, as well as investigating the example plugins, then create a simple "Hello World".
