How to compile old version

[heaven-id13]

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:

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.

after " press the TAB after "git checkout" on command line" i am selected v.3.11.2-final

~/rockbox/.git$ git checkout v.3.11.2-final
fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree

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!).
