[Suggestion]: Build instructions without GNOME Builder #56

Closed InFerYes closed 3 months ago

InFerYes commented 4 months ago

Is your suggestion related to a problem? Please describe. I want to build this application for my kids' aarch64 devices. They have GNOME installed, but it's not a fast device and it has very little disk space.

Describe the solution you'd like I want to build Keypunch and install it without using Flatpak

Describe alternatives you've considered None, other than finding different software

Additional context There are no build instructions in the README and CONTRIBUTING only tells people to install the flatpak version of GNOME Builder (why?) and then hit the "play" button in the header. I want to install Keypunch on ODROID C4 aarch64 devices that run Arch Linux ARM so my kids can practice typing. Unfortunately, flatpak is not an option.

InFerYes commented 4 months ago

I did the following steps

  1. meson setup build/

  2. meson configure build/

  3. ninja -C build/

  4. ninja -C build/ install

This makes keypunch available on my system, but I think it's in debug mode, judging by the border.

Will try to recreate this on the aarch64 devices, at least it works.

Hi there! Since Keypunch uses Meson, it is indeed pretty straightforward to build manually as long as you have all the required dependencies. Passing --buildtype=release to the configure command will give you a release build (normal header bar + compiler optimizations). Let me know if that works for you on an aarch64 system; if it does, I assume we can close this. Keypunch does support aarch64.

There are no build instructions in the README and CONTRIBUTING only tells people to install the flatpak version of GNOME Builder (why?) and then hit the "play" button in the header.

The instructions in CONTRIBUTING.md are aimed at people who'd like to hack on Keypunch or just test the current main branch without too much hassle. Using GNOME Builder in a Flatpak environment is the most predictable way to do that, and it's how I develop the app myself. I'll consider adding some notes on building it manually, though, thanks for the suggestion :slightly_smiling_face:

Many thanks, I will add the parameter to build on these SBC's.

Hi, I'm getting the following error(s) when compiling on aarch64

I have installed the blueprint-compiler using pacman (pacman -Syu blueprint-compiler) and the package is now properly compiled and installed

Great! I’ll close this then.
