Will do..

|That's because you're starting it by double-clicking it in
|Windows. You are supposed to start it from the cygwin cmd shell:
|
|$ ./rockboxui.exe
|
|...as described here:
|http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/UiSimulator
|
|Unfortunately, the "Simplified Guide" wrongly told you to
|double-click it. I have corrected this now.
|

That's the page I was following...

|It didn't occur to me that people would try to
|start it from the Windows Explorer.

Hehehe, like most windows users, I will always click rather than type,
unless specifically told otherwise


|You have missed to checkout the manual from CVS:
|
|$ cvs co manual
|
|This will checkout the manual from CVS into the "manual" directory.
|hence, your build directory can't be called "manual", but
|"manual-h120"
|or something like that.

OK... I had assumed that rockbox-devel would include everything... Yet
another lesson learned today :-)

Looks like I may have some work to do on tweaking the doc's to prevent other
users from making the same mistakes I did... Thanks again..
