How to build for GNU/Linux

Rockbox has already been reviewed by the free software directory some time ago.

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
