From what I can see the Creative Zen Vision ports, which were the only ones to set USE_ELF prior to the Echo R1 port, do not work except for a bootloader and never even got to the point of booting Rockbox. This explains why they build codecs and plugins as ELF binaries, yet there is no code to load ELF format codecs or plugins. Anyhow, add a new setting, PLUGIN_USE_ELF, which controls whether plugins & codecs are left as ELF or converted to flat binaries. This makes it possible for the Echo R1 to use the flat binary .rock format, and makes it possible to have ELF plugins/codecs on targets with non-ELF main binaries. Seeing as nothing needs ELF plugins/codecs right now, the new default is to generate them as flat binaries unless the target requests otherwise. Change-Id: I9ffae669978de5cc7ad214cd50d97ad6e8938394 |

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.xz
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 mips/m68k/arm-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 generated using the rockboxdev.sh script in the /tools/ folder of the
source.
$ which arm-elf-eabi-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-fuzeplus
$ cd build-fuzeplus
$ ../tools/configure
$ mkdir build-xduoox3
$ cd build-xduoox3
$ ../tools/configure
