Patch help
Rincewind:
deadacres: If you are serious about compiling rockbox then it is not a good idea to say "I don't want to downlad svn". If you install Cygwin the way it is described, you have svn already anyway.
And don't expect it to work without some serious reading of the Rockbox wiki. I spent a few days reading things up before I tried compiling the first time.
deadacres:
Yeah I've been reading for awhile now. It's just that at some points in the guide I get completely lost because it's either complicated or I'm overlooking something really obvious.
I already have SVN, I guess, then, cause I downloaded cygwin correctly.
deadacres:
I'm getting a new error now.
The source is unzipped and I put a patch into the apps folder where it should be. I patch it like I think I'm supposed to and I get...
patching file menu.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 11
Hunk #2 FAILED at 136
2 our of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file menu.c.rej
bascule:
That just means the patch is out of sync with the current SVN. See the patch author to correct this.
Alternatively, look at the .rej file and see what went wrong...
deadacres:
It's okay. The only plugin I really need works. I patched it and everything but now I'm having trouble configuring the build.
I get everything right but it messes up on the last step. I see...

Should I be worried or is this build safe to use?
Edit: When I try to compile it and type make it says
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
