@ldijkman Sorry, I don't own a raspberry pi so I have no idea if the builder will work or not. Or how well if it does run.

However, if you have Arduino IDE up and running then I say its worth a try. Follow the instructions for Linux Option A in the wiki. Builder Install on Linux

Use the latest version builder-linux-0.16.b003.tar.gz

If you try it; Let us know if it works.

downloaded the linux version https://github.com/ImpulseAdventure/GUIslice-Builder/releases/download/v0.16.b003/builder-linux-0.16.b003.tar.gz unpacked it i see no install.sh in the guibuilder directory?

Enter the new GUIsliceBuilder folder cd GUIsliceBuilder Run the installer and indicate where the Java 8 files are located. ./install.sh

ldijkman commented 3 years ago

in the scripts directory there is a ./install.sh but pi@raspberrypi:~/gui_slice/GUIslice-Builder-master/builder/scripts $ ./install.sh bash: ./install.sh: Permission denied

pi@raspberrypi:~/gui_slice/GUIslice-Builder-master/builder/scripts $ sudo ./install.sh sudo: ./install.sh: command not found

ldijkman commented 3 years ago

ok i did now unpacked like you said Download and untar builder-linux-X.Y.Z.tar.gz then i have a install.sh direct in the guibuilder directory

will try again

pi@raspberrypi:~/Downloads $ tar xvzf builder-linux-0.16.b003.tar.gz

ok now its working

pi@raspberrypi:~/Downloads/GUIsliceBuilder $ ./install.sh Removing desktop shortcut for GUIsliceBuilder Uninstall Completed! Welcome to the GUIslice Installer This script will install GUIslice Builder into your Desktop To uninstall this App simply re-run this script with -u argument

The Builder requires the location of Java If you have more then one Java version installed you need to identify what directory has the Java you want to use You can exit this script with ^c and use this command to find it.

sudo update-alternatives --config java pi@raspberrypi:~/Downloads/GUIsliceBuilder $ ./install.sh Removing desktop shortcut for GUIsliceBuilder Uninstall Completed!

If Arduino IDE is installed you can use the Arduino built in Java Examples: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre /home/pi/arduino-1.8.7/java

Enter location of Java: /home/pi/arduino-1.8.13/java

thank you

i now have an icon on the desktop so it works on a raspberry pi 400 or raspberry pi 4 and it launches the editor perfect https://oshwlab.com/l.dijkman/esp32-dev-kit-38-pin-to-spi-touch-tft https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNYT64CaLEI

did a quick test of the screen editor think this program can be handy for screen layout i saw some data in the generated project code that can be useful thank you

@ldijkman Thank you for the information and sorry it was so hard. If you have any suggestions on how to make the wiki install instructions easier to follow let me know and I'll pass it along to Calvin. Paul--

ldijkman commented 3 years ago

i used the unzip from filemanager that did not unzip it correct

next is the install text i have seen verry confussing to me download win.................. and then your talking about untar a linux...........................l

Download and untar builder-win64-1.0.tar.gz into your home directory. Open a terminal cd $HOME tar xvzf builder-linux64-1.0.tar.gz

better make a video on youtube howto install on linux and or raspberry linux i think a lot of people will like your program maybe im talking nonses but i whas looking for some scalable code generation generate a square based on window width height but i can also make 3 different codes for 3 sizes screens

If you are using Arduino IDE's skip to LINUX GUIsliceBuilder SETUP.

LINUX GUIsliceBuilder SETUP

Download and untar builder-win64-1.0.tar.gz into your home directory. Open a terminal cd $HOME tar xvzf builder-linux64-1.0.tar.gz

Then enter the new GUIsliceBuilder folder cd GUIsliceBuilder

Then run the installer and answer where to find your Java 8 files.

./install.sh

Your GUIsliceBuilder should now be on your Desktop.

LINUX run the Builder

Clicking on the GUIslice Icon on your Desktop will open the builder. You can also run the builder by: ./GUIslice.sh
