arm-elf-gcc problem
bro2baseball:
I feel dumb because my problem was so obvious. I was editing the ect/profile with Wordpad, and after saving it messed the file up. I used Notepad++ and now it works fine.
thanks for all your help!

--- Quote from: Sentertainment ---here;s how ya do it...I had the same prob at first....
do windows search for the exe file, then once u find the directory use the path relative to the cygwin folder as the path.
(may be confusing, but if you can make sense of what I said....it works)

Greatest... pieces... of... advice.... ever...
I've been ripping out my pubic hair trying to get this blasted thing to compile. Two sentences change everything. Thanks tenfold guys.
Now I just gotta figure out how to fix this now:
--- Code: ---CC target/arm/gigabeat/meg-fx/pcm-meg-fx.c
CONVBDF
CC sysfont.c
Header parsed
AR+RANLIB librockbox.a
make[1]: *** [/cygdrive/d/cygwin/home/griz/rockbox-devel/build/librockbox.a] Error 127
make: *** [all] Error 2
--- End code ---
If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
Again thank you so much Sentertainment & decayed.cell. You two... top of your game.

If all you did before was to copy that gcc binary to your bin folder, then the problem is exactly the same: you don't have the necessary tool(s) in your path.
This is why the instructions for building a cross-compiler says change your PATH and not "copy files".
Also, you can use 'make V=1' to get more details printed in the console when you build.
I thought there were prebuilt cygwin packages already for this...

Job Van Dam: lol, I still have alot to learn about rockbox, I had the same trouble as you...luckily I've messed w/ linux b4 and figured it out fast. Anyways, the copying part was bad advice, that can make more problems...just keep in mind you don't want to move files, you want to change the configuration saying where they are. ;)
Badger: Yes, there are packages built on the server...just the PATH isn't set correctly by default it seems, I had the same problem myself.
