#define _PAGE_ Setting up the GNUSH compiler for Windows
#include "head.t"

    <BR>
</P>
<P>I have spent a long time figuring out how to compile SH1 code in windows (using 
    the sh-elf-gcc compiler) and when I finally compiled the first OS for my 
    Jukebox I decided to write a little tutorial explaining the setup process.

<H2>The GNU-SH Tool Chain for Windows</H2>
This is actually all you need to download. It includes the binutils, gcc and 
newlib. Download the GNUSH Tool Chain for ELF format (35 MB).
<P>
    The GNUSH website can be found at <A href="http://www.kpit.com/download/downloadgnushv0203.htm">
        http://www.kpit.com/download/downloadgnushv0203.htm</A> (source code is 
    also available there). Get the "GNUSH v0203 Tool Chain for ELF format". <b>Note: </b>
    The GNUSH v0204 Tool Chain has a bug which causes problems when compiling 
    Rockbox!
</P>
<H2>Perl</H2>
<p>
Download Perl for Windows from <a href="http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/">
    http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/</a>.
</p>
<H2>Setting up&nbsp;the Compiler</H2>
<P>Install the GNUSH Tool Chain (nothing you really have to care about during the 
    installation process).</P>
<P>
    <H2>Compiling the latest Rockbox Source
    </H2>
<P>Use CVS to download the latest source code of Rockbox (the firmware and apps 
    modules). In addition, you need to copy a win32 compilation of scramble.exe and 
    convbdf.exe into the tools dir. The pre-compiled scramble.exe can be downloaded <A href="http://rockbox.haxx.se/sh-win/scramble.exe">
        here</A>. The pre-compiled convbdf.exe can be downloaded <A href="http://rockbox.haxx.se/fonts/convbdf.exe">
        here</A>. From your start menu, open the "SH-ELF tool chain" batch file 
    inside the GNU-SH v0203 program folder. You should end up seeing a command 
    prompt. Go to the apps directory and type:</P>
