Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling

No .rockbox directory created on Simulator compile, LUA plugins unfunctional

(1/1)

nezzled:
I compiled a UI Simulator from source on a WSL Ubuntu system following the instructions at https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/Windows10CrossCompiler.html, but no .rockbox directory was created in the simdisk. I manually created one myself since I'm just planning on using it for plugin development and I copied the entire build/apps/plugins directory to build/simdisk/.rockbox/rocks/apps/plugins. While this works enough, LUA plugins refuse to load at all and have no errors logged in the console. Could these two issues be related in any way? I didn't notice any errors while making the simulator.

bahus:
After build you need to make additional step to "install" rockbox to simdisk:

--- Code: ---make fullinstall
--- End code ---

You can also call it as one command with compile. Something like:

--- Code: ---make -j && make fullinstall
--- End code ---

P.S.: I worked only with linux simulator but I assume it's the same for Windows

Great, thank you! That fixed both problems. Is there a way to mark posts as "correct" on this forum?
