You can configure the build to build it for GNU/Linux with the following commands:
 
−
$ guix shell -F -C alsa-lib bash coreutils gawk gcc-toolchain grep libxrandr libxrender make perl sdl sed zip
 
−
$ mkdir build
 
−
$ cd build
 
−
$ ../tools/configure

You then need to select '200' for '200) SDL'

−
You can then select the resolution and orientation (portrait/landscape) you want.
 
−
 
 
−
Then select Normal build with 'N' for '(N)ormal'

And then you can finally launch the build with:
 
−
$ make

The GUI works fine but audio still needs to be validated: we probably need to intialize the database somehow before being able to play some audio and that takes a very long time.

Archos's players

  • Look at openaos
  • No 100% free distribution of GNU/Linux or Android is ported to that hardware
  • Upstream Linux doesn't seem to support Archos PDAs or music players. So that makes things more complicated to support in FSDG compliant distributions.
