Building plugins for rk27xx
« on: January 17, 2015, 05:24:54 AM »
I'm having some problems with building a plugins for an a generic rk27xx target (BTW my device is Ritmix RF-8800)
So, the problem is that the plugins are refusing to compile, even if i add a certain plugin into SOURCES file, it compiles, but .rock file being created
I'm asked a person, who once successfully compiled most of plugins for rk27xx, but he told that he didnt have any problems with it

I'm  was doing everything like that:
1.Clone source code from git
2.Patch the source code with patch specific for my device
3.Build everything as described in wiki

And no plugins in resulting zip file
Am i doing something wrong?

P.S. Sorry for my English

in tools/configure you need to find the section starting with 180|rk27generic) and below this change plugins="" to plugins="yes"
You will be flooded with missing keymap errors :-)

The changes are pretty common and will vary from device to device. Them are mostly 6-10 lines of code, defining keys and screen width and height. The thing that i totally didnt expected is doom to work, and it is even playable.

The most boring and laborious work is to define keymaps for (almost) each individual plugin. So if your device works with rk27generic target other people may benefit from this work.
