[Gen8 General] laptopfreek0:
Trying to compile the source for the archos gen 8s. If I can compile it, I might be able to add in root support, but I have hit a snag. When I compile I get this:

I googled around and was unable to figure out what is going on there. --nostdinc should be a command for GCC, but doesn't seem to be working correctly. When I run gcc -v I get:

PS If you do get it compiled I found where you can override user for certain applications: /buildroot/package/dbus/archos.conf

It looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
<busconfig>

<!-- ../system.conf have denied everything, so we just punch some holes -->

<policy user="root">
<allow own="com.archos.emaild"/>
</policy>

<!-- Add your service name
<policy user="root">
<allow own="com.archos.Service"/>
</policy>
-->

</busconfig>
