Cant install rockboxdev.sh

[iPodFoo]

Have tried looking around for help but its all a bit confusing   Have read and re-read http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CrossCompiler.

I run the script after using "su" as it wont run otherwise, says no write permissions:

user@debian:~/rockbox-devel$ su

Make your PATH include :/usr/local/arm-elf/bin

I dont really know what to make of it. Most of the stuff isnt extracting or installing, or cant find file or directory. And what about the last line? Where do I put that path ":/usr/local/arm-elf/bin"? Is it a line in the script itself?

Running Debian with VMWare on XP.

Any help much appreciated.

You should probably install bzip2 to allow tar to unzip the tar.bz2 files.

[iPodFoo]

ok. Managed to download bzip2 source, compiled it in debian. Surely I cant be the only one needed to install bzip2. Was never mentioned in the tutorials.

Anyway, after 'make install' of bzip2, I ran the rockboxdev.sh script again, seemed to unzip fine, but from then on, every line had either Cannot open: No space left on device or Cannot open: No such file or direcory. It did this for about 2 minutes on 1000 odd lines. Here an example snippet of the end:

Make your PATH include :/usr/local/arm-elf/bin
debian:/home/user/rockbox-devel/tools#

Is this due to a lack of space or something? This is really annoying.

[Bagder]

Managed to download bzip2 source, compiled it in debian.

In debian you could've just apt-get installed the bzip2 package.

Surely I cant be the only one needed to install bzip2.

I think the vast majority of people already had it installed.

Was never mentioned in the tutorials.

Right, since you're the first to face it.

Cannot open: No space left on device

You're out of disk space on the partition to where rockboxdev.sh unpacks the packages.

[iPodFoo]

In debian you could've just apt-get installed the bzip2 package.

I could. But being new to Debian, if its not in the tutorials I wouldnt know to use apt-get command.

Anyway. Removed as much from debian\user folders and ran it script again. All seemed to install now, huzzah!

Very last line says Make your PATH include :/usr/local/arm-elf/bin, what do I do with it, where does it go?

Getting there!  

ps. Just out of interest, what is the size of the partition for the rockboxdev.sh to unpack? I had 12GB on the drive free, so i assume its at a set size.

Very last line says Make your PATH include :/usr/local/arm-elf/bin, what do I do with it, where does it go?

It depends on your system setup, but most users use bash on Debian and then you edit your PATH variable (which tells the shell in what directories to look for executables) in the $HOME/.bashrc file for future invokes of shells.

You can also set the PATH in your current shell with

Code: [Select]

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/arm-elf/bin

[iPodFoo]

Ok. Opened the bashrc file in XP in notepad and the only line I could see on there related to PATH is:

export PATH=/usr/local/sh/bin:/usr/local/m68k/bin:/usr/local/arm/bin:$PATH

Do I replace this whole line?


I also tried typing in Debian export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/arm-elf/bin but it didnt seem to do anything. Just returned to the prompt. I checked the file to see if it had been added but it wasnt.

Sorry if Im being a simpleton.  

[saratoga]

I don't know much about linux, but I believe typing export just changes the path in your current session, so it won't be in the basrc which (i think) is a startup script that runs everytime you boot.

You could try typing "which gcc-arm-elf" or whatever it is you're adding to the path to see if its working.

[MoD]

just exchange:

Code: [Select]

export PATH=/usr/local/sh/bin:/usr/local/m68k/bin:/usr/local/arm/bin:$PATH

with:

Code: [Select]

export PATH=/usr/local/sh/bin:/usr/local/m68k/bin:/usr/local/arm/bin:/usr/local/arm-elf/bin:$PATH

in $HOME/.bashrc

Excellente. Have made changes. Will do proper test tommorrow as Im in the middle of doing some fonts in fontforge in debian.

One last question. Is there a tutorial in using the cross-compiler or is it used transparently?

Thanks everyone for your help. Much appreciated.
