Build Your Own Rockbox
1. Clone 'rockbox' from git (or extract a downloaded archive).
 $ git clone git://git.rockbox.org/rockbox
 or
 $ tar xjf rockbox.tar.bz2
2. Create a build directory, preferably in the same directory as the firmware/
 and apps/ directories. This is where all generated files will be written.
 $ cd rockbox
 $ mkdir build
 $ cd build
3. Make sure you have sh/arm/m68k-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure
 that you have 'perl' in your PATH too. Your gcc cross compiler needs to be
 a particular version depending on what player you are compiling for. These
 can be acquired with the rockboxdev.sh script in the /tools/ folder of the
 source, or will have been included if you've installed one of the
 toolchains or development environments provided at http://www.rockbox.org/
 $ which sh-elf-gcc
 $ which perl
4. In your build directory, run the 'tools/configure' script and enter what
 target you want to build for and if you want a debug version or not (and a
 few more questions). It'll prompt you. The debug version is for making a
 gdb version out of it. It is only useful if you run gdb towards your target
 Archos.
 $ ../tools/configure
5. *ploink*. Now you have got a Makefile generated for you.
6. Run 'make' and soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps
 directories have been compiled, linked and scrambled for you.
 $ make
 $ make zip
7. unzip the rockbox.zip on your music player, reboot it and
 *smile*.
If you want to build for more than one target, just create several build
directories and create a setup for each target:
 $ mkdir build-fmrecorder
 $ cd build-fmrecorder
 $ ../tools/configure
 $ mkdir build-player
 $ cd build-player
 $ ../tools/configure
