shumatech / BOSSA

BOSSA is a flash programming utility for Atmel's SAM family of flash-based ARM microcontrollers. The motivation behind BOSSA is to create a simple, easy-to-use, open source utility to replace Atmel's SAM-BA software. BOSSA is an acronym for Basic Open Source SAM-BA Application to reflect that goal.

Installing 1.8 on Debian? #81

Open jhaupt opened 6 years ago

jhaupt commented 6 years ago

No configure script in the tarball nor instructions for installing.

Binaries would be equivalently good :)

aswild commented 6 years ago

You don't need a configure script, it's just a flat Makefile. Run "make" and then manually install the bin/bossa* binaries to /usr/local/bin or wherever else you want to install.

thehans commented 6 years ago

A list of dependencies would be nice and even if the instructions are simply "run make", its better to be explicit than to have everyone guessing what to do.

I had to install libwxgtk3.0-dev for the makefile to run. Not sure if there were other deps that I just happened to already have installed.

aswild commented 6 years ago

I think wxgtk and readline are the only dependencies, or at least that's all I have in my Arch PKGBUILD

Hey, I had to install wxgtk and realine like @aswild said: sudo apt install libreadline-dev libwxgtk3.0-dev

It could be great to add this in some install documentation or juste compile some binaries for linux!

Thanks for your work!

I've whipped up this script to automatically build 1.9.1 from source and install it.

Should work on all debian-based systems.

Yes, I concur, it makes for a better install if build instructions are explicit as @thehans mentions, rather than leaving it up to users to figure it out.

Once I found this post here, I was easily able to get the install correct and things working as they should.
