GCW Zero build patch

[JohnnyonFlame]

Hello there, I'm a developer for the GCW Zero project, and I'd like to submit a patch based on rev3759 using the OpenDingux configuration as a base.
Patch includes:
- Basic build config for the "OpenDingux" GCW ZERO toolchain based off of the OpenDingux's A320 (dingoo) build.
- Moving file i/o from "pwd" to "home" and "share".

patch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1647381/

This might need some cleaning, and there's a few changes that could be done to improve the menus on the device, but this is what I got so far.

Thank you for this awesome piece of software

Don't have linux right now.

Perhaps this can be merged with open dingux build in environ.sh, because there are only a few differences, most of which are paths.

- Moving file i/o from "pwd" to "home" and "share".

I wonder if this can also be down to original dingoo port. Is that just personal preference, or because of file i/o permission issue?

This happens because the binary is packaged inside an "opk" file, which is basically a squasfs compressed image, this means the package containing the files is read-only, requiring all IO to be done outside of the root folder.

root folder contents:

$ ls bor_rel/
default.gcw0.desktop  LICENSE.txt  OpenBOR.bin  OpenBOR.png  patch  README.txt

default.gcw0.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=OpenBOR
Comment=An opensource beat em' up engine.
Exec=OpenBOR.bin
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Icon=OpenBOR
Categories=games

and the line that builds the OPK file:

mksquashfs bor_rel/ openbor.opk

finally, the opk itself: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-JDsucVcM2dQzUtUzU1anZhQXM/edit

There's a cygwin-based, unnoficial gcw zero toolchain somewhere, will bump if I find it.

Hello guys, long time no see you!

As some users were having problems running OpenBOR on the latest GCW-Zero firmware, I decided to try to help them. As I was unable to retrieve the JohnnyonFlame's patch  I ended up creating a new one:
https://gist.github.com/Shin-NiL/44b0ce68d544c3c60d6c It was based on SVN r4077.

The main reason I'm submitting the patch is to have back the spk files support. As Dingoo A320 and GCW-Zero OpenDingux binaries are no more compatible, you will need to set up a new toolchain to compile for GCW.

The GCW-Zero toolchain can be found here: http://www.gcw-zero.com/develop
And here's the discussion about the latest unnoficial build: http://boards.dingoonity.org/gcw-releases/openbor-8487/

Thank you.
