Provide native build on Mac OS X #14

Closed rei-vilo closed 7 years ago

rei-vilo commented 8 years ago

Build is performed on a virtual machine installed by Docker. This requires wastes processing and disk resources.

Any plan to provide native build?

Mac OS X is based on Unix, so there shouldn't be major issues.

Thanks!

Just want to :+1: this one. The Docker installer seems nice in theory but with such a heavy system requirement it sort of eliminates the value of a container-based deployment. Perhaps Docker isn't the best solution for a local compiler?

Some stats:

Total downloaded = 6 GB
Total disk used = 25 GB, mostly by the virtual machine

When #8 will be implemented, only only latest version will be downloaded (~600MB transfer and 1-2GB disk space) by default. Native version was considered but isn't a manageable way for us to provide support.

There is a community effort to provide native build in Particle Dev though.
