hello bluechip,

as hardeep notes, the "generic" win32sdk I released months ago could not
compile simulator stuff.
this was mentioned on my site - unfortunately I didn`t mention this from the
very beginning.

because I needed the simulator stuff for myself and found, that it wouldn`t
"blow up" the sdk size
that much - I made an updated version of the sdk which support building the
simulator and building
the tools now.
unfortunately there where some minor problems, because I didn`t have much
time for proper
"Quality Assurance".
I hope the problems are fixed now and all goes right - I think it should run
on Win98, too. (i`m
shure by >90% - but i don`t have that OS anymore - so i cannot test this)

the new package is at:
http://rockbox.my-vserver.de/rockbox-win32sdk-full.tar.bz2

there are 2 differences to the "normal" win32sdk installation notes:

1. don`t create a c:\cygwin folder - just untar to c:\
2. you don`t need the separate tools download. go to the tools-dir and run
"make" on the bash prompt
   to build the tools

please don`t post issues regarding the new sdk to the list - I first want to
have a 101% sdk, before
"going public" again. contact me directly by email and I will help you
getting that run (and you help me
making installation bulletproof and give some feedback - is this ok? ;)

regards
Roland


ps:
> Does someone have these illusive header files that I need? Maybe (if they
I don`t think anybody needs rockbox simulator /X11 version on win32 - so I
don`t spend a second with
issues regarding this. If I`m wrong, please tell me, why someone wants to
use X11 version on win32. If there is someone, who is doing so, I think he
doesn`t use my sdk. he should have a complete cygwin setup anyway (and this
includes Xfree86 X-Server, which is needed for running X11 apps)
