Build system and cleanup, see Issue #8 #13
Conversation
Use the lms2012/open_first/Build Documentation.sh script to rebuild.
This will search for a toolchain in some classic locations.

Before this pull request is committed, the current repository should probably be tagged first. |
Would it be ok to clone it to a local directory and just import it in Eclipse without specifying the git repository as the workspace? i.e., Workspace directory is separate from the ev3sources directory. |
|
@tcwan: tags can be made at any time, at any hash, so order is not important. I suppose it's OK for the separated workspace. I do not know eclipse well enough. |
That is my default setup. I keep my repositories separate from my Eclipse workspace. I just wanted to check if there was any special circumstances for your example configuration. |
|
Does anyone have any objections to merging this pull request? |
|
It looks ok to me, but please tag the existing repository as well, since all the binaries will be removed, people might want to be able to access the pre-built binaries (via the tagged version) until their setup can rebuild everything correctly. I don't have a working setup to rebuild everything yet on my end. |
|
I would like to add the instructions for eclipse somewhere, maybe in README.md? |
|
bungeshea mentioned that we should come up with a proper Wiki but I don't know when/who'll be getting that setup. |
|
@tcwan what do you suggest the tag be called? @schodet Probably best if you add your instructions to a wiki page and link to it from the readme. @tcwan The wiki is avaliable here: https://github.com/mindboards/ev3sources/wiki |
|
I have some content that would be very wiki-able, I was going to make it into a blog article, but the wiki would be better |

EV3_PRE_BUILDSYSTEM_REVAMP :) |
|
I am currently testing your build system @schodet :) |
|
make kernel produces the following exit message: Is this expected? This was done with a clean tree, just after a checkout. |
|
make lms2012 produces the following errors (again, a clean tree) |
|
make programs (with clean tree), produces the following error: What is this convert program? If it's a new build requirement, maybe add it to the README, if it's not already there. |
|
To compile the lms2012 target, the following packages need to be present (Ubuntu 13.04):
|
|
To get the /usr/bin/convert program, you need to have installed the imagemagick package. |
|
All issues are resolved now with the installation of u-boot-tools, all targets apart from "programs" compile fine. The path seems wrong, I can find the file here: |
|
For kernel, you need the u-boot-tools package. This is documented in the LEGO doc, however I can add a test in the Makefiles to give directions to the user as I have done for the cross compiler. For -lusb, I think it should not be required to install it unless you are compiling for X86, I think I can fix that. For convert, I can also add an hint about the package to install. I will update the pull request with that. |
|
@schodet , the work you've done is incredible, btw, thank you very much! |
|
@botbench thank you! ;) About the Brick Datalog.raf file, this is a missing mkdir for the destination directory, I will fix that! |
Make will find system libraries for -lusb, -ldbus... That is not wanted. Libraries are in linux-devkit directory. Make could be pointed to this directory, but as it is binary anyway, I do not really care.
Provide a hint to user if it is not installed.
Provide a hint to user if it is not installed.
|
I have pushed the fixes, and added a page to the wiki. Thanks for testing! |
|
I have created the tag. Is this ready to merge? |
|
I'll test it and let you know |
|
ok, all targets are working as advertised. @bungeshea, let 'er rip, I say :) To you the honours of merging this request. |
Revamp build system and cleanup. Resolves #8
Here is a first step toward a regular build system.
It includes Makefiles for:
If you run make in open_first, it will present a list of available targets.
The build system will automatically build dependencies (for example, c_ui library is needed to build lms2012, and images need to be converted to .xbm to build c_ui).
Not done yet: images and SD cards.
I removed many generated files.
I have also made the connection with eclipse. There is a single project which run make with the selected target. As the workspace is no longer included, you have to import the project in a workspace, using this simple steps:
