Re: [orca-list] issues with rockbox utility with orca master

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hey Kendell.

It would help indeed. That's what I'd do anyway. But first I need to get
a working and accessible version of rockbox. The version I downloaded is
completely inaccessible so I probably will need to build rockbox
locally. After getting its dependencies, figuring out any build errors,
etc. Besides, depending on what commit broke things, the fix might jump
out at me without the need to get rockbox.

Thanks!
