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

 PATH=c:\mingw\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5;%PATH%
  • 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. 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
