Will do.. |That's because you're starting it by double-clicking it in |Windows.

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..
