Hi all,
I have just given the VMWare development method a try, and hit a few snags..
I followed the instructions on http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VMwareDevelopmentPlatform with no problems, and managed to start up the environment fine, followed the Compiling section, and completed a build with no issues, WAAAAAAAAY qucker that in Cygwin.
I then tried to build the manual, created a new directory, ran ../tools/configure, typed make - no platform!!
I then tried using the full command line version to checkout rockbox-devel instead, realising that the manual may not be included under the rockbox alias, and watching the screen - this proved to be the case, and the manual files were indeed now checked out.
Typed make again, this time
Pdflatex: command not found, I assume that latex has not been installed on this image… How do I do this? Should it in fact be in the image?
Second issue revolves around the file sharing area,
I assume that the line \\ip\user means the actual ip address of the virtual machine? I could see mention to DHCP in the bootup refering to 192.168.237.129, and address I can in fact PING when VMWare is runing and connected to the ethernet, and it fails as soon as I disconnect the ethernet, but attempting to map a network share in XP to \\192.168.237.129\user fails with "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another"
Anyone any clues as to why it fails?
Mark
