Trying to compile a more current build of RB based on maxwen0's patch series

[viperman3]

Well, it's been such a long while since the last maxwen0 build so I got myself to try to follow maxwen0's patch series and have a got at compiling a version on RB based on more current code.

Anyways, this being the first time I tried this, there were bound to be some problems to overcome ... so this is the reason why I'm posting this.

The patches I applied without any errors, but when I issue the make command to compile the code, I get an error.

Here's the snippit of the output:

So, this is where I'm stuck

Anyone willing to assist on this matter?

btw, here's the order I applied the patches in (I changed the names of the patches to include a number sequence)

patch --binary -p1 < 01-ymargin-scrollinfo_20070728.patch
patch --binary -p0 < 02-scroll-margins_20070915.patch

You have better chances posting it here. And thanks for trying

I have made some progress. I was able to compile a simulator, however, there's a problem with the scrolling text. At times the text splits about 2/3 from right to left and then there are two lines scrolling. One above the other (both with the same info, but scrolling at different rates)

I'm now trying to figure out where this problem is being introduced.

Programming is not my forte so this most definetly will take a while to figure out

If you upload the sim, I could help ya since it deals with the wps, And thanks again for trying to update his build

[viperman3]

here is the X5 compiled version based on rockbox-20070918-r14740 source:

This is the patch series I used:

There are a few patches I didn't apply (compilation errors)
Still trying to figure out how to resolve the errors.

havent tried the other icons at http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IconSets

[caliaa]

Thank you, the other icons look weird. BTW, the build+patches compilation works great.

Used rockbox-20071011-r15073 from SVN and applied the following patch series:

ymargin-scrollinfo_20071002.patch
scroll-margins_20071006-2-MOD.patch
album_art_20071005.patch
bmp_resize-20071005.patch

WPS-buffer.patch
increase_button_filtering.patch
6746_battery_minutes_tag.patch
rockcalendar-MOD.patch
newinsert.patch
dircache_size.patch

There are still a few patches I didn't apply (compilation errors)
Still trying to figure out how to resolve the errors.

Thanks so much. New build is working fine on my machine. One very stupid request - any chance of putting back the bootscreen that maxwen0 was using? I ask because there are a lot of bootscreens available that can be switched with the Logo Swapper utility but it's easier to make the switch if the original compiled bootscreen is in 160x128 format.
Thanks for all your work!

I'll try to get the bootscreen logo implimented (I'm not too fond of the bootscreen that was being used, but if you have one you'd like I can impliment that.)

[hweb21]

If you have an idea, I can make it for you.
Here are some - http://protopage.com/rockbox#Main/Logo_Gallery

[ya1950]

Thanks so much. hweb21 posted a link to the one that maxwen0 was using. Actually any bootscreen can be very easily swapped using Logo Swapper. However you can only swap for another logo that is the same size as the one precompiled in the rockbox build. For this reason I'd suggest using a 160x128 logo like maxwen0 did since there are a lot of logos available in this size.

[viperman3]

Okay .. got some time to create a bootscreen patched compilation.

I have also attached the bootimage file I made ...
