Sorry if this is a stupid question but I can't figgure out how to get the cross complilers to work on mandriva linux. Thx. help would be great!

Have you tried rockboxdev.sh in the /tools/ folder of the sources?
-
This is my first linux instal you will have to be a bit more specific in the explination I only used cygwin before!

Get the Rockbox sources as usual. In the /tools/ folder of the Rockbox sources is a script called rockboxdev.sh, running that can download and install the Cross Compilers for you. Then you simply need to add them to your path.
For that you'll have to see what you need to specifically do for your install of linux, as it can vary.

Ok i found the file but am i supposed to click on it in the browser or execute it with a terminal?
if I should use the terminal what command should i use?

It is perhaps best you take a little time to learn how to use your Linux install. I personally simply run ./rockboxdev.sh in a terminal window. Other methods can vary depending on how your system is configured.
