I built pcb-20100929 last night using the minipack environment in a virtualbox VM with a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 install. Process was nearly painles: I had to find alternative sources to the ones given in the pixman and gd recipes(it seems like libgd.org has been down for a long time), but that was the only hiccup .
I remember ages ago when I was doing a bit of coding for the N900, Nokia actually release a VM image containing a fully set-up Maemo linux development environment. It saved me alot of time compared to navigating a sea of dependencies and manually setting up the cross-compiler and emulator environments. Is there any interest in something like this for PCB/Minipack? I'd be happy to slap one together but don't have the resources to host it. -Tom Pope On Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 11:21 PM, Bob Paddock <[email protected]> wrote: >> is mostly on my end (getting a build environment set up seems more >> problematic than I expected). > > Using the minipack build environment has been working for building the > Windows version. > >> If anyone wants to help make the process more robust, feel free :-) > > If the steps for creating the release are written down, Wiki would be > fine, I'll take care of making a regular build of the Windows version. > > In discussing this with Dan a couple of years ago it was issues like > tracking down the licenses to be shown by the installer etc. that were > more problematic than the actual building of the code to do a release. > I started once and gave up when I could not find the zlib license, > then I understood what Dan meant.
