Since http://pedigree-project.org/ is down, pup can't get required dependencies, code can't be built. #6

Closed ghost closed 10 years ago

The build scripts rely on http://pedigree-project.org/ existing and providing extra libraries required to build this code. Since this site is down, the code can't be built.

May I suggest that all the required dependencies be provided on GitHub?

Thanks for reporting this.

I am aware of this, and currently working on sorting this out. I've been busy with a few other things but will hopefully have something worked out for this soon.

Ideally, it would be possible to detect some of the libraries are not present and fall back to the text-only user interface (which, while 'bash' would not be present, at least allows code to be built and hacked on). This would be a matter of detecting, say, Cairo is missing in SConstruct, and forcing the nogfx build option to True if it is. Then, we'd need to checks for whether to build TUI, winman, etc, based on the nogfx variable.

So there's a few options, but getting the proper repository back up and running online is currently the main priority.

http://pup.pedigree-project.org is alive again and has the required set of x86_64 packages.

Please make sure you run easy_build_x64.sh rather than easy_build_x86.sh as the latter script will shortly be phased out.

Also, ensure you are on the develop branch to ensure you are using the latest code.

Closing this, I have done a few fully-clean builds and determined the build is doable.
