Update installation information #2

Closed pinballpower closed 2 years ago

pinballpower commented 2 years ago

I've added some information on how to compile it on Raspberry Pi OS Lite on a 2GB RAM model

pinballpower commented 2 years ago

Doesn't compile without meson here:

I think I see what the problem might be. Stand by.

egnor commented 2 years ago

OK I just pushed a change that should let dev_setup.py run successfully (without meson or ninja installed globally), give it a spin?

To build from the command line you'll need to make sure the direnv hook is installed in your shell, OR, run direnv exec . ninja -C build but that's kind of clumsy.

I definitely don't have any direnv hook in my shell. If this is required, it should also be added to the install document

egnor commented 2 years ago

Yeah that was an oversight. Will do.

Sorry about the troubles and thanks for the reports!
