Building locally and for Linux ARM #26

Open coogle opened 2 weeks ago

coogle commented 2 weeks ago

This looks like a very interesting project, thank you for working on this.

I checked out the code and tried to figure out how to compile from source locally on macOS without success:

bash ./build.sh
Preset CMake variables:

  CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug"
  CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS="1"
  CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE:FILEPATH="vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"

CMake Error at /opt/homebrew/Cellar/cmake/3.27.8/share/cmake/Modules/CMakeDetermineSystem.cmake:154 (message):
  Could not find toolchain file: vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:8 (project)

CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Ninja".  CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set.  You probably need to select a different build tool.
CMake Error: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Could you provide some hints/docs on how to build this locally?

Also, would it be possible to add Linux ARM to the releases?

Hi @coogle, thank you for the interest. The build instructions are here https://github.com/1yefuwang1/vectorlite?tab=readme-ov-file#prerequisites . Based on your error message, the reason of build failure is that Ninja is not on PATH. You can install it using brew.

About Linux ARM, I believe it should be easy to do given that vectorlite already works on macos ARM. Some changes to the ci.yml and pyproject.toml will do. I'll try to figure it out in the next release.

BTW, what language are you using? Currently, only python and nodejs have 1st class support.
