Here you’ll find the binary release and patch log of my 2nd custom Rockbox build for Sansa e200 of todays SVN sources (Revision 15044). The customization is focused on getting prettier WPS screens and some Sansa specific tweaks.
UPDATE: Take a peek at my latest additions including Rockbox builds in my Rockbox category
The patch selection got a little smaller, as I gave up on some less important patches. The only one missing I’d like to have compiled is the DC Bias patch. The ones I’ll probably leave out also in future are striked out.
I’ve only done a quick test with this 2nd build at the time of writing. I’ve been using my 1st build quite intensively and with success. The only flaw I noticed was one single crash, when the backlight dimmed out in WPS while pressing buttons.
A non-build related problem is missing special chars (German Umlauts) in the default font chicago12.fnt of SaagarsBigArt Theme.
You may download my Rockbox build here.

I also built the bootloader, but an update isn’t required; you can still use the one available at rockbox.org.
For the first time I took a look at rbutilqt, the Rockbox Utility. Very handy thing! You may download the dynamic version for Ubuntu 7.04, but you may get problems because of missing QT libraries (as it’s not statically linked).
Here’s the build process and installation:
cd /home/scheff/src/rockbox-15044/rbutil/rbutilqt qmake-qt4 make lrelease rbutilqt.pro mkdir /home/scheff/opt/rbutilqt cp -p rbutilqt /home/scheff/opt/rbutilqt cp -p *.qm /home/scheff/opt/rbutilqt ln -s /home/scheff/opt/rbutilqt/rbutilqt /home/scheff/bin/rbutilqt
