I assume what you are thinking of doing is having a VMware image of a Linux-based operating system configured with some kind of access technology, be it ORCA or similar. Then you would load that image, and use the access software to compile Rockbox, possibly using a semi-automated process by means of a script rather than entering commands manually. The script could be configured to provide options which, when selected by the user, perform different actions. This would of course significantly reduce the end-users requirement to know much about the commands themselves. Is that along the lines of what you're thinking? If so, count me in as being interested. I've really been getting into VMware lately, so will be happy to offer any advice or test anything that you need or wish. > Last question, if he creates me accessible vmware images that can be > used > for compiling rockbox or running a build client, would there be any > interest > in hosting them so that other people could take advantage of them if > they > wanted to get rid of cygwin? For hosting, I don't know whether this would be acceptable but I have web space of my own (600GB+ at the moment) hosted on commercial servers which are backed up daily. I'd be happy to host your images or associated files if you wish. __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4476 (20091002) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com Received on 2009-10-02 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
