Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 02:02:46 +0300 I'm not sure it has to do with accessibility per-se, but I find the colinux environment far superior to cygwin, since you actually run a full-fledged linux kernel. Once you set it up (rather easy -- just run the option-less installer or extract a zip file and run a couple of command lines), you can either ssh into the environment, open a console-like connection or even run a xterm on a Windows X server (e.g., xming). -----Original Message----- From: rockbox-dev-bounces_at_cool.haxx.se [mailto:rockbox-dev-bounces_at_cool.haxx.se] On Behalf Of Andrew Hart Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2007 01:30 To: Rockbox development Subject: Re: cygwin packages instalation with jaws and a few other questions Tyler W wrote: > Hello, > > I've been trying to instal cygwin to compile patches and such, > however, I'm having a slight problem. > WhenI go to try and select various packages, i can't find the listbox, > condo box- or anything else that says to select a package- so I > searched on the mailing list and found something about graphics > labeling.

[snip rest] Tyler, Yes. That was I who wrote about the graphics labelling. If you are using a video card set to 32-bit colour depth and 1024x768 resolution, my JAWS graphics file will probably work for you. I recommend you contact me off-list if you want it. I needed sighted assistance initially to figure out which graphics needed labelling, but once I had done that, I was able to perform a fairly minimal Cygwin installation by only selecting the packages I wanted and then set up a Rockbox development environment. Mind you, it's still not pretty to do, because it's all pure mouse work with the JAWS cursor. Cheers, Andrew.
