Error when Configuring Build

[Soader03]

I wanted to add a .diff file to my compiled rockbox. So I did all the steps (the Patching steps from this page: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SimpleGuideToCompiling and then, the Configuring build section). When I am to the step says: In that folder type ../tools/configure which will bring up a list of all possible devices , I type cd../tools/configure and I get a error that says: Le nom de répertoire est incorrect. Wich means in english: The name of the directory is incorrect (or something like this, because I have a Franch Windows). So I can't compile my own rockbox. Anyone knows what to do?

Where is your build directory located?

[Soader03]

It's C:\Rockbox\home\guest\rockbox-bleeding
In ...\guest\ I have the rockbox-bleeding.tar.tar file

[ColdSphinx]

unpac the tar...

[Soader03]

I already did it

[ColdSphinx]

is your build dir in a subdir of the rockbox source?

[Soader03]

Not sure of what you are saying but I'll answer...

C:\Rockbox\home\guest\rockbox-bleeding\

In that folder I have the \build directory, the \apps, \tools, all that I need and many others...

It's C:\Rockbox\home\guest\rockbox-bleeding
In ...\guest\ I have the rockbox-bleeding.tar.tar file

You can't compile in Windows.  You need to set up a development environment in Linux, using something like VMWare or cygwin.

You've apparently skipped this step of the Wiki page that you linked to:

What You Will Need

A complete Cygwin installation with the cross compilers needed for building Rockbox. See CygwinDevelopment for instructions.

If you don't like Cygwin and you want to avoid setting it, you can try the VMwareDevelopmentPlatform which contains all needed files, compressed in an emulated Debian Linux enviroment.

Installation

See CygwinDevelopment

Ohhhhh that's why! Thanks Febs!

[ColdSphinx]

and I thought he has a completely installed cygwin

[Febs]

I did too at first, until I saw the backslashes in his path.

And you don't type "cd../tools/configure", just "../tools/configure". cd means Change Directory, which you're not doing, you're executing a file.
