Previously several additional rules were added by qmake to build the required libraries. This has a couple of problems on Windows, requiring the use of a msys shell. Additional variables are passed as environment variables. Windows doesn't understand this. Passing the variables via make command line argument works but make won't be able to change those variables anymore, breaking things. Use intermediate variables passed via make command line that are then exported by the called Makefile. This doesn't work in the generated Makefile since the export lines must not be part of a rule. Also cleans up the project file a bit. Change-Id: Iaffb059ce8bafe17a35bd1e0a74ae7acd966c138 |

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
