Patching help
Febs:
Did you get a copy of the source by following this step of the SimpleGuideToCompiling:

Febs replied while I was typing, so this may be useless, but... here goes.
Well.... lets see. you say you can't find the "source" file. also, the /tools/ and /apps/ folders I was talking about previously are folders. I'm not sure you have downloaded the correct file from the Rockbox server.
What exactly are you trying to patch? It seems to me that you probably downloaded a build. If you initially downloaded from http://build.rockbox.org/ by choosing your model iPod from there, then you downloaded the SOFTWARE. You need the SOURCE. Source files are NOT running software. You must use Cygwin to COMPILE the source files to MAKE them software.
If you look at the build webpage above, you will see an option for "Source Archive" at the very bottom. You need that. Download it, and extract it to a folder called "source" or something. Then, when you are in that directory, you will see the "/tools/" and "/apps/" folders. From there, go back to what I said in my last post, and follow those instructions.

so i got the source file and everything worked until i got to the
# Now type make
# Sit back and watch the files being compiled... this process should not take more than 5 minutes (may take a little more if you have a slow computer)
here is a screenshot of what happened:
what do i need to do? i think it is something the do with my path

You may be right. It is either your path, or you have an incomplete cygwin install.
Make sure you have installed everything said in the Wiki under http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CygwinDevelopment, including the section about the path. You can run the cygwin setup program again, and it will let you add more.

Edit using nano or vi (not Notepad or Wordpad in Windows) /etc/profile and add ":/opt/sh/bin:/opt/m68k/bin:/opt/arm/bin" (without the quotation marks) to the end of the line that says: PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin...
that is what it say if the certain files arnt in your patch
does anyone know what nano or vi is?
