Getting Compiling Started

<< < (2/2)

sublime:
yeah i did i explained them quite well! i downloaded cvs and followed the installation instructions, however when i went to install the rockbox addons to make my own build and apply pathces..you link (setup.ini) couldnt be found which tells me that your links are dead so i CANT compile my own build.

Llorean:
What page are you referring to that links to the setup.ini? Are you using Cygwin or VMWare? What "rockbox addons" are you talking about, as there's nothing officially called that?

Do you see how your post doesn't explain ANYTHING useful?

I compile my own build daily, and I've just checked that *everything* necessary to compile a build is currently available, at least if you choose the VMWare method. You can.

sublime:
um ok let me step by step explain it
1. install CVS
2. follow thru the steps untill i get to the part where it says:select a mirror
http:/www.rockbox.org
i did that. then it says:add a user url...http://download.rockbox.org/cygwin/
did that :) ERROR: url...http://download.rockbox.org/cygwin/ setup.ini can not be found ;)

Llorean:
So, you mean "Install Cygwin" not "Install CVS"

You might want to try http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VMwareDevelopmentPlatform instead. It's somewhat more reliable, compiles faster. It takes up more HD space though.

Llorean:
http://download.rockbox.org/cygwin/setup.ini is definitely still present, so the file is there. I'm not sure why your attempts aren't working. Why is there a space after the last / in your message above?
