Build Your Own Rockbox!!

<< < (4/7) > >>

MU4L:
OK, no problems, I see where you're coming from  :) .

When I said 'new to the world of Rockbox', I was implying that compiling one's own build falls within that boundary ('the world of Rockbox' being much more than simply what Rockbox is (i.e. a 3rd party open-source firmware)).

LinusN:
I would say that Rockbox is very much about compiling your own build. But that involves knowing what you are doing.

Bagder:
... and I would say Rockbox is about compiling your own in the same way Linux is compiling your own.

The ones who really want to touch the metal do it, the ones who don't use prebuilds.

Llorean:
Sorry, I guess my post should say 'blindly compiling your own build'.

My fear is that with this tool, every single person will have a very different patched build, and the possibility of supporting people will essentially halt. I would very much like it if people who want to compile their own build spend the (relatively little) time and effort to learn to compile it, just so that they're familiar with what is involved and hopefully are a little more aware of the pitfalls, as well as being absolutely conscious of the fact that they have _changed_ something.

JdGordon:
