Hello Tyler
My own experience with Cygwin installation with JAWS is not very positive.
I finally managed to complete the installation but only by selecting all
packages which amount to several gigabytes.
Best Wishes,
Peter

Subject: cygwin packages instalation with jaws and a few other questions
Hello,
I've been trying to instal cygwin to compile patches and such, however,
I'm having a slight problem.
WhenI go to try and select various packages, i can't find the listbox,
condo box- or anything else that says to select a package- so I searched
on the mailing list and found something about graphics labeling. I've no
experience with this, so if there's any blind users using cygwin that were
able to select the various packages with jaws required to compile and
such, I"D appreciate it. I've got a lot of patches that sound very
interesting, including the patch in which remaining battery time is spoken
along with buffer size, and another one to have remaining playlist time,
average bitrate, and so on and so forth- time of the currently playing
track etc. Could these be implemented into rockbox itself? It certainly
would help me, I'm not sure about other users, though, I should sayI'd
love to have remaining battery time spoken to me, if only to make me feel
a little more in control and to know what the limmits of my player are,
(ipod video), currently I've always had it plugged in when possible.
another thing, the voicing of splash screens. For some things, I feel as
though I'm in the dark, so to speak, for example, asking if I want to
place a bookmark on stop would be virtually impossible as the speech
doesn't ask when I stop playback, so I'm not sure what I would do and if
I'd accedently say no or yes without meaning to, etc. Another thing I'm a
little irritated about is the graphical eq, because I cant control
anything and the hardware eq sucks as its harder to set and it usually, if
not always, distorts playback. I know this isn't any fault of rockbox, I
can't expect speech to be able to speak graphics, however I wish there
could be an alternitive to this. Would any of this be possible, before I
go put a feature request in? A few other things I'd like to see improved:
- recently, I've been seeing the scroll wheel on the ipod video getting a
little too sensitive for my liking. I wish there was some sort of setting
(no idea how I'd go about setting it) that could allow us to choose how
sensitive the wheel could be, weather it be weak to very strong to
moderate or a percentage of accelleration or sensitivity, which I doubt
could be accomplished.
- I keep accedently hitting "record" with no idea how to get out of it, I
don't know why the ipod as recording, anyway- is it even remotely
possible? If IT IS COULD WE HAVE A SETTING TO ENABLE OR DISABLE IT? Yes, I
know, this is probably a very stupid thing to be asking for- personal
oppinion, if you will. Sorry about all these caps and non-caps, my caps
lok key seems to have a mind of its own.
- could more letters on the virtual keyboard b spoken, particularely
numbers, commas, periods, perenthisis and brackets, and :. I doubt
anything else needs to be there- at least, not for me, and I doubt we'll
be using most of those symbols anyway.
- instead of just "music", could we have a particular file view for each
type-, for example, wma files, mp3 files or ogg files. (maybe a submenu of
music which could include all, .aiph etc etc, in alphebetical order?) But,
that could pose a problem as some people may want more than one filetype.
I don't know, these are just suggestions which I guess, when I get off
this dialup, I'll send to flyspray. I just thought I'd get them out there.
Any thoughts on this matter?
Sorry about this- I know I went way off topic of this question.
- Tyler
