Amen!
Once I am sure that I have a correctly configured full install, I will
attempt to repeat the process on my laptop, any objections if I screen
shot it along the way and expand on the current Cygwin install page to
make it more 'Nube' friendly??
Go ahead, please do.
I even successfully made the SDL Simulator build, Hurahhh!
However when I attempted to run the rockboxui.exe I got the error : "This
application has failed to start because SDL.dll was not found.
That's because you're starting it by double-clicking it in Windows. You
are supposed to start it from the cygwin cmd shell:
$ ./rockboxui.exe
...as described here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/UiSimulator
Unfortunately, the "Simplified Guide" wrongly told you to double-click
it. I have corrected this now.
If you insist on double-clicking, copy SDL.dll to c:\Windows or something.
Re-Installing the application may fix this problem" - What have I missed,
or is there some magic incantation missing from the install instructions?
See above. It didn't occur to me that people would try to start it from
the Windows Explorer.
When I try to build the Manual it fails. What have I missed?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/rockbox-devel
$ mkdir manual
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/rockbox-devel
$ cd manual
You have missed to checkout the manual from CVS:
$ cvs co manual
This will checkout the manual from CVS into the "manual" directory.
hence, your build directory can't be called "manual", but "manual-h120"
or something like that.
