Date: Sat, 7 Sep 2002 10:25:03 +0200 (CEST) Hi folks! After successfully inserting and formating my new hard disk I immediately tried Rockbox _for_the_first_time_. Remember your first time with Rockbox (at least, remember your first time with Rockbox 1.3) and imagine what great feeling it is to have now a firmware deserving this classification... Finally: no unmotivated skips! Clever scrolling! Battery level meter! Usefull settings! On-going development! Open Source! Second action right after awaking was to install the sh cross compiler. I first installed it on my linux computer. I downloaded the current versions binutils-2.13 and gcc-3.2 (shouldn't I?) and compiled them both as noted in the Rockbox docs. All worked fine. Then came my first attempt to compile Rockbox. In short: after 'make' created a rather small archos.elf file (about 88 kB) sh-elf-objcopy converts it into an amazingly large archos.bin of 151 MB (!) - of course that's too much for the scrambler. Is there any known incompatibility with latest gcc and binutils? (Then maybe we should note this in the docs explicitly) I tried the cygwin-compiled sh-elf-objcopy from my XP machine but the behaviour is the same. Or may there be something messy with the ELF file itself irritating sh-elf-objcopy? As an intermediate solution I will continue by downloading the noted binutils and gcc version, hope that helps.
