8 | Build your own archos.mod. | ||
9 | |||
10 | 1. Check out 'firmware' and 'apps' from CVS (or possibly form a downloaded | ||
11 | archive). You probably want to check out 'tools' too (to get the configure | ||
12 | script if nothing else) and possibly the 'uisimulator' too (for trying out | ||
13 | things on host before making target tests). | ||
14 | |||
15 | 2. Create your own build directory. This is where all generated files will be | ||
16 | put. | ||
17 | |||
18 | 3. In your build directory, run the 'tools/configure' script and enter what | ||
19 | target you want to build for and if you want a debug version or not. It'll | ||
20 | prompt you. The debug version is for making a gdb version out of it. It is | ||
21 | only useful if you run gdb towards your target Archos. | ||
22 | |||
23 | 4. *ploink*. Now you have got a Makefile generated for you. Run 'make' and | ||
24 | soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps directories have | ||
25 | been compiled and linked. | ||
26 | |||
27 | 5. Copy the archos.mod file to your archos, reboot it and *smile*. | ||
28 | |||
29 | Whenever the tools/configure script gets updated, you can make your makefile | ||
30 | updated too by running 'tools/configure update' | ||
31 | |||
32 | If you want to build for more than one target, just create a new build | ||
33 | directory and create a setup for another target combination in there. | ||
