If you don't need/want to use Fuse+ex2 then half of the existing
install command is unnecessary, and it's hard to pick out which you
do and don't need to, for example, build Lagom. This makes it clear
which commands you can skip if you don't need ex2 support.
- Fix headings
- Consistent & more accurate code block language specifiers
- Add some newlines where appropriate
- Remove the strange "run ninja but actually you don't have to run ninja
as ninja install takes care of that" part
- Don't repeat specific build commands in "Ports" section
- Reword "Keymap" section to more generic "Customize disk image"
The QEMU's `--accel hvf` command was recently enabled in the `run.sh`
script, but it sadly doesn't work on macOS Big Sur: you need to first
sign your code by adding an `entitlements.xml` file and running a
simple command.
I just ran through successfully building and running SerenityOS under
macOS. I ran into two main things that I struggled with, which were
- properly enabling osxfuse (through System Preferences)
- running the suggested command about compiler versions in such a way
that would be compatible with Ninja (as it turns out, I just needed
to add `-G Ninja` to the command)
This commit clarifies those things for anyone who may follow
We already have installation instructions for ubuntu but not yet for
Debian. Gcc-9 is not available on Debian stable so instructions for
switching to and from Debian testing are added.
Gcc 8.3.0 (which is the current version in debian 10 stable) seems to
fail at building AK. New people might get stuck when they try to run
make inside the ./Build folder and fail at building serenity.
It seems that new people go to the build instructions from the main
README, don't see Windows and are then stuck.
We do have instructions for Windows, but they aren't noted in the build
instructions, so new people get stuck thinking there's no way to build
on Windows.
Inspired by #3047, and my struggles to understand how cmake is supposed to work ^^
Thanks to @bgianfo, who made me realize that ninja can be used just like make.
No idea why I didn't notice that earlier.
Toolchain/BuiltIt.sh expected a version of cmake which
apt did not provide for my system. Added note of the
expected version and where to find a newer version.
List of changes:
- The cmake command has been moved away from the main build instructions since
the BuildIt script executes it automatically
- The ninja install has been clarified to take the BuildIt script into account
and explain that the folder needs to be cleaned before executing cmake
- The ports instructions have been updated to use the make commands
- "brew install bash" has been added to the macOS prerequisites as per #2132
- The build instructions headers have been indented to group the prerequisites
together
- The build instructions code snippets have been standardized into code blocks
- Fixed a typo
It didn't feel right to have a "DHCPClient" in a "Servers" directory.
Rename this to Services to better reflect the type of programs we'll
be putting in there.
