+ Welcome to our humble project. +
+ In order to get your hands dirty as quickly and smoothly as possible, here +follows our suggest approach! + +
+ Mail: We have a very active developers mailing list no +serious Rockbox freak can live without. +
+ IRC: There's always a bunch of friendly and helpful people around in the + IRC channel. + +
+ You need a cross-compiler and linker to build the code. Pick one of these: +
+ Get a fresh source to build Rockbox from. We usually recommend you get the +sources fresh from the CVS repo (How to use CVS), but +you can also get a daily tarball or even the latest released source package. + +
+ Build rockbox using your aquired sources! If you're using Linux or the +suggested cygwin approach, read How to compile +Rockbox. +
+ Also note that we have put a whole lot of effort in writing simulators so +that you can build, run and try code on your host PC before you build and +download your target version. This of course requires a working compiler for +your native system. + +
+ You fixed any bugs? You added any features? Then make a +patch and head over to the patch-tracker +and submit it. Of course, you can also check the open +bugreports and jump in and fix one of them (or possibly submit +a new bug report. + +
+ Regularly checking the open feature-requests +gives a picture of what people want to see happen and what is left to add... + +
+ You'll be better off with a sourceforge account for most bugreport and +feature-request work. + +#include "foot.t"
