That question probably belongs in it's own thread, also I don't know lol. This thread is just the only working tutorial for getting hotdog, ttk, podzilla2, and just about anything else to build for the iPod in Windows.

thanks for the tutorial keripo
i finally got the toolchain to work!
and compile the helloworld c++ thing Razz

now i just gotta run it on the ipod...?

Yeah, you could write a shell script in /etc/rc.d to run your console app before podzilla is started. You could also execute it in a virtual terminal in podzilla2. If it's on the linux partition remember to make sure it's executable (chmod +x <file>)

Was just searching around and found these two links. Not sure if they work but if anyone is willing to try em instead, please do.

Portable Cygwin:
http://www.dam.brown.edu/people/sezer/software/cygwin/
(get a pre-set up Cygwin installation and try this on it, then distribute the pre-set up enviro. No need for this tutorial then ^_^)

Cygwin DVD (no installation)
http://www.cygwineasy.tk/
(can't try cause my computer doesn't even have a DVD drive - adding the toolchain and such might be a hassle too)

Oh, and no idea how late I am but yay for the sticky. Thanksies! Wink

Hello,

When I tried to run "svn co http://svn.ipodlinux.org/tools/hogdog", I got the response of
"svn:PROPFIND request failed on '/'
svn: PROPFIND of '/': 405 Method Not Allowed(http://svn.ipodlinux.org)"

I checked http://svn.ipodlinux.org)" by my browser. The response is as follows.

Would you please tell me how can I get those files, such as hogdog? Thank you!

Under construction means exactly that - iPodLinux's SVN (server?) is under construction. Maybe the system's being revamped, maybe its being moved elsewhere (like before), or maybe its just down for maintenance. Either way, you'll just have to wait it out til the servers get back on, after which you'll be able to obtain new, updated source code.

In other news, I just finished my exams for this year! That means I'll finally be able to stop slacking off (ie watching anime, messing with my PSP and, of course, studying) and get back to iPodLinux stuff. I'll still be busy with work as well as learning java over the summer, but either way, I'll have more free time Wink

Back on topic, since I will get the free time, I will be reformatting/reinstalling my entire computer soon so I'll be rebuilding my compiling enviros. I'll probably take the chance to make a distributable Podzilla 2 compiling environment as a Slax module and upload it along with a cleaned up Podzilla 0 compiling Slax module. If I don't have the time/can't get it working, however, I'll definitely be making a portable Cygwin installation with the bare minimum. Either way, look forward to an update in this thread (but probably not any time soon ; P ).

Thank you! Do you know how can I get the latest codes asap?

BTW, I used to be a JAVA developer and have a SUN certification. Feel free to discuss JAVA issues with me. Smile

I have the sources from less than a week before the server went down.
http://sebajo.files-upload.com/files/325212/hotdog.tar.gz
http://sebajo.files-upload.com/files/325214/podzilla2.tar.gz
Give me a sec and I'll upload the rest needed to compile Podzilla2.

EDIT: Here are the rest. Sorry for the delay.

Z0MG! New Toot Oriole!

Yeah, this one is even more universal and newbie friendly. You don't even need to compile stuff - I've already done it for you ; )
(it also allows you to compile podzilla 0 and legacy applications, but that's beside the point)

And yes, this thread can be unstickied now. Bye-bye ; P

Afterthought:

Okay, maybe this doesn't need to be unstickied ; P Since my computer sucks, compiling on Cygwin is much faster than on Slax. The downside, however, is 1) portability, and 2) numerous incomplete cygwin-vs-linux compatibility when compiling. I'd still suggest Slax but use Cygwin if you need speed (eg kernel compiling).

I tried it, and it works. I have burned my own cygwin install, and have downloaded the official Cygwin-Easy-2007.03.21.iso and successfully installed the toolchain. So far I've tried it on an Windows 2000 professional, Windows XP, and Vista. It works fine on Windows 2000, but for some reason it's not as good with Windows XP (maybe it's just my computer though...). As for Windows Vista, it works just fine.

P.S. I used Power ISO to put the toolchain on the iso.
