#apertus IRC Channel Logs

morning folks!

Morning!!

So, out of curiosity, how long does it typically take for one to build the beta firmware?

IF someone did reply to that question, I'd be ever so grateful if they could repeat it. :)

the channel is logged, so you can check easily

And ridiculously cool.

Awesome. Do you know when he's typically active?

they are located in germany, so roughly european schedule

mostly, yes

Morning, noon, or evenings? xD

In any case, I had a question about building.

no idea

How about this question. Is it normal to get a bunch of permission denied errors for creating symlinks to ca-certs when building the image?

you are asking the wrong person here :)

hahaha, okay, okay.

Hahaha. Okay. I hope to ask you soon, but until then I want to make sure this build system is working.

Out of curiosity... Does it matter what OS is used to build the firmware?

Or windows.

jhlink_: Most convenient solution would be for you to opt for a client btw - https://wiki.apertus.org/index.php/Join_the_Team#IRC

I don't mind switching, after all they all interact with IRC.

LimeChat is fine

Whaaat? Didn't know there was a cmdline irssi... that's insane.

True, true.

GUIs existed since the 1960s

jhlink_: I'd not try to build on OSX or windows.

jhlink_: I'd recommend you get a virtual machine running ubuntu or archlnux (the latter needs a bit of manual work to get a gui out of it, but you're rewarded by a constantly up-to-date system).

if you really just want a builsystem, I'd think archlinux would loose most arguments against it, just because it by default leaves you to add an user, maybe enable dhcpcd, and then you can log on in a console, or install and enable an ssh server. Aftwerwards it mostly doesn't get in your way (you have to manually install and activate, osmetimes configure further software like a graphical environment

Should using a Ubuntu/Arch linux VM be added onto the makesfiles/README.md then?

don't think so, necessarily, unless it already expresses support for anything except linux as far as building goes.

Ah, well. Right now, I'm trying to run the docker vupvupvup/axiom_build image on OSX.

Hopefully, I can figure this out. If not, I'll create a linux VM.

so the docker container should get everything it requires there

Eh, but what do I know. Still hackin' away. hahaha

If it's actually building it from source, I'd expect a 3GHz quadcore skylake to take about an hour, but a lot of it can be parallized, so cores would be able to bring it down to 5 minutes I think.

jhlink_: checking.

I just copied portions of the docker command in the make file.

from what I saw there, it doesn't look like it'd work on osx though. just based on it trying to provide a priviledged container, which I 1) consider rather bad for security reasons (you giv ethe build tools root, essentially)

Bertl: can the fpga code be built without me requiring the xillinx pay-me-upfront software? I.e., can I build it without spending money, and without needing to scour the web for a crack (which I'm not interested in doing...)? I might want to try to write multi-stream ethernet blasting...

vup: or anuejn: Is the docker-make.sh supposed to be run strictly in Arch or Ubuntu? I'd like to make a PR updating the makefiles README. Might as well leave some breadcrumbs while I'm at it. :)

Is there a problem with the CMakeFiles for axiom-control-daemon?

Man... building a project is soooo hard...

what?

So, right now. I'm fumbling around to see how I can build all the images.

Really???

parts are built on the camera, parts are built on an intel PC

so the process works but it might not work everywhere

Yeah, you're right. It's probably best if I wait for them to make any headway with this.

no problem

Thank you!! vup
