Problem with rockboxdev.sh

[madsic]

Running the rockboxdev.sh script poses problems. I'm runnning it in a terminal window under Ubuntu Dapper ("sudo ./tools/rockboxdev.sh"). This is the outout I get:

Code: [Select]

ROCKBOXDEV: extracting binutils-2.16.1 in /home/mads/build-rbdev

done

After which it is done (and misleadingly prints: "Make your PATH include :/usr/local/arm-elf/bin" since the .... darn path has yet to be made)

It seems to be a PATH issue but I don't get it. If the script needs a path to a command that it itself puts onto the system, surely it should create those references itself?

Can anyone tell me what is going wrong? Or just a quick manual fix?

Thanks in advance.

You are missing both gcc and make - install those, along with the package build-essential

I thought that was what rockboxdev.sh did? Installing those?

rockboxdev installs the gcc compiler for the arm platform. You still need to install gcc for an x86 (or whatever your build environment is) platform to compile some tools

And how do I go about that....?

Enter in a terminal window:

apt-get install make gcc build-essential

and hit the Return key of course!

Sorry, on Ubuntu its actually:

sudo apt-get install make gcc build-essential

Thanks for reply, patience and thoroughness

Yes and no.... Actually, I have done all of this before which just makes it all the more embarrasing   I was just so fixed in thinking about scripts and downloads that I forgot about apt-get...

Thanks  again. Hopefully I'll make a mental note of it, so I wont have to ask again should the need arise....
