Trouble with arm-elf-gcc

<< < (2/4) > >>

Hmmm...it works for me ;)

Admittedly I'm only patching and building, not creating patches, but I know I can FTP straight out of the terminal window to upload builds to my website and I can also use all the facilities of my XP box to browse and modify the SVN files (by connecting Windows Explorer to the virtual filesystem) before Alt-Tabbing back to VMWare to make a build.

Just my two ha'porth

Enmar:
how do I do that??? I mean access windows applications?

Nate!:
Have you tried the stuff that is recommended at the end of the VMWare Devlepment Platform Wiki?  The last section is entitled "Additional Tips" and goes over running : "vmware-toolbox" for enabling copy/paste functionality.  It also covers running WINE, which from what I gather, allows you to access Windows apps from within the Debian image.

I can't really help you with your Cygwin issues.  The only reason I use it is for running a Sim from Windows without having to launch a build evnironment.  If it wasn't for that, I'd use one of the Linux envr because compiling is so much faster.  I haven't tried to compile for a few weeks now: ever since the Screen Rotation patch came out for the Gigabeat's.

That isn't what I meant.

In Windows Explorer address bar, you can type \\debian\user to open a file browser window onto all the SVN files. Thus you can use Notepad++ or whatever to modify the source files or drag and drop downloaded patches into the correct folder etc. That's all, but it does make life pretty easy. I'm really liking the VMWare method :)

BTW if you haven't figured it out VMware pissed me off.

What are you talking about?  VMware has a windows manager (as opposed to cygwin's box of text).  It should have an internet connection (otherwise, you couldn't download the source).  And you should be able to browse the files just fine from the samba share.  I don't see how websites come into play here, as this is an environment designed to build and develop Rockbox with.  If you really need a GUI file browser or a web browser for some odd reason, just apt-get anything you want.

Point is, you have really confused me by going from cygwin to VMware and calling VMware the ancient one.
