== Emulating the Reciva Radio Hardware ==

This emulation project was started in the footsteps of a similar project on the Freecom Musicpal.
This is just a working notes area at the moment.

== Building the Emulator ==

=== Special Bits On a Windows Platform ===

* Download (from http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml) and install MinGW into c:\mingw
* Download (from http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml) and install MSys-Basic into c:\msys
* Make sure that cygwin is not in the path. Its probably a good idea to set your own path up by editing MSys.bat:
PATH=c:\msys\usr\local\bin;c:\mingw\bin;c:\mingw\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5:c:\Windows\system32

* You will need to rin the MSys.bat as the administrator, so that the installs can take place.

* Also, I found on Vista that in order to be able to run programs as the Administrator, a modification to the shell searching in msys.bat is also required:

c:
cd \msys
if EXIST bin
ul cd bin
if EXIST rxvt.exe goto startrxvt
if EXIST sh.exe goto startsh

* Finally, there is an issue with softlinks on MinGW - it does not support them. QEMU's configure has a problem creating the arm-softmmu makefile. Need to edit configure to change the ln command to a cp command:

#
# don't use ln -sf as not all "ln -sf" over write the file/link
#
rm -f $target_dir/Makefile
cp -f $source_path/Makefile.target $target_dir/Makefile

=== Download Files ===

* Download SDL from http://www.libsdl.org/index.php (I'm using version 1.2.13)
* Download ZLib from http://www.zlib.net/ (I'm using version 1.2.3)
* Download QEmu from http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/download.html (I'm using version 0.9.1)

=== Unpacking Files ===

* tar -xzf SDL-1.2.13.tar.gz
* tar -xzf zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz
* tar -xzf qemu-0.9.1.tar.gz

=== Compiling Library Files ===

''Note that the '''make install''' part of these steps needs to be run as root / administrator''

* cd SDL-1.2.13 ; ./configure ; make ; make install ; cd ..
* cd zlib-1.2.3 ; ./configure --prefix=/mingw ; make ; make install ; cd ..

=== Patching Qemu ===

* <<reciva patches go here>>

=== Compiling Qemu ===

* cd qemu-0.9.1
* mkdir install_dir
* ./configure --static --target-list="arm-softmmu" --prefix="install_dir" --enable-adlib
* make
* make install
* cp ../SDL-1.2.13/build/.libs/SDL.dll install_dir
