How to compile old version
« on: March 14, 2015, 05:34:10 PM »
I have compiled the latest version of the manual http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/LinuxSimpleGuideToCompiling for Sansa E200v1
works fine,but sometimes slow. I want to build a version lower (v 3.10-3.11) with certain patches. how to do it correctly?
 how to git clone git://git.rockbox.org/rockbox v3.11?
ThnX!

You could check out the specific SVN revision for that version:

http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/UsingGit#How_do_I_check_out_an_SVN_revision_made_before_the_transition_to_git_63

I wouldn't go that old though.  You could try 3.13.  I doubt its different in performance though.  The e200v1 has a fairly slow CPU.

If you have the latest version of the source, maybe you just want "git checkout <whatever_branch>" and then compile it. If you don't know what branches you can choose, press the TAB after "git checkout" on command line.

You can't be in ".git" directory. Just change your current directory.

I'm not sure the CPU speed matters, unless OP found a way to compile the manual on the e200, as opposed to for the e200 (now...that would be something to behold!).

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.
