Rockbox simulator binaries for MacOS (ARM64)

chris_s:
Great :) fwiw, objcopy is probably not required for the other targets

As a very rough guide, this was what I did to get the sim working directly from the build directory:

--- Code: ---mkdir build && cd build
./tools/configure --target=ipod6g --type=n
make
make full-zip
mkdir simdisk && cd simdisk
unzip ../rockbox-full.zip
cd -

./tools/configure --target=ipod6g --type=s
make
cp ../uisimulator/bitmaps/UI-ipod6g.bmp UI256.bmp
rm -f simdisk/.rockbox/codecs/*.codec
cp ./lib/rbcodec/codecs/*.codec simdisk/.rockbox/codecs/
./rockboxui

--- End code ---

chris_s:
Heh, you may have overcompilcated things a tiny bit there, at least if you're only interested in the simulator. I'm not sure if that was intentional. :D

After the first line in your code snippet, in theory, all that should be needed for building and installing the ipod6g simulator itself is the following (the j option uses multiple threads to speed up the process):


--- Code: ---../tools/configure --target=ipod6g --type=s && make -j10 && make fullinstall
--- End code ---

Even easier, thanks!

chris_s:
New version has been uploaded (20241218 source code snapshot corresponding to revision 12ea82d9e4). I'll try to update the OP with the current build semi-regularly.

Instructions on how to compile the simulator yourself have been added as well. If anyone wants to have a go....

A remaining TODO is to bring the MacOS-related info provided on the wiki  into the current decade... :D
