| 18:52:52 |  @swedneck | it's not quite what's actually in guix right now, but close |
| 18:53:35 |  koalalorenzo | what about the building instructions? |
| 18:54:10 | @swedneck | (build-system gnu-build-system) |
| 18:54:22 | @swedneck | these are the instructions from the github repo:
git clone https://github.com/markwal/GPX
cd GPX
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
sudo make install
|
| 18:55:03 | @swedneck | so if the software has that process for building, it's extremely simple to package |
| 18:56:57 | koalalorenzo | so, I am not sure and it might require some testing! |
| 18:57:03 | koalalorenzo | @swedneck: https://www.electron.build/configuration/linux#LinuxConfiguration-target |
| 18:57:24 | koalalorenzo | you can build for a tar.gz target and then extract the built where you want to install it |
| 18:58:06 | koalalorenzo | What about using the AppImage instead? |
| 18:58:06 | @swedneck | so what'd the full process for building orion be? |
| 18:58:45 | @swedneck | that defeats the point |
| 18:58:49 | koalalorenzo | TL;DR: make build 🙂 but the FULL FULL is defined in the Gitlab Pipeline, (it is in the repository) |
| 18:59:02 | koalalorenzo | and it requires docker for building for Windows, Linux and macOS |
| 18:59:02 | @swedneck | the point of guix is to compile from source |
| 18:59:28 | koalalorenzo | Yes, what I am saying is that there is no make install |
| 18:59:34 | @swedneck | oof |
| 18:59:40 | koalalorenzo | so we need to find a way to install the binaries after having them compiled 🙂 |
| 18:59:40 | @swedneck | i know guix has some docker stuff though |
| 18:59:45 | @swedneck | but i probably won't be able to package it then |
| 18:59:48 | koalalorenzo | that is why I was talking about the AppImage |
| 19:00:02 | @swedneck | wut |
| 19:00:11 | @swedneck | guix handles that |
| 19:00:36 | koalalorenzo | interesting! |
| 19:02:03 | @swedneck | guix is kind of like gentoo 2.0 |
| 19:02:41 | @swedneck | so it's based around compiling from source, although you can also make it check build servers for prebuilt versions of packages |
| 19:12:00 | koalalorenzo | I will check 🙂 It would be amazing if you can help us with GUIX! |
| 19:12:20 | koalalorenzo | Redacted or Malformed Event |
| 19:12:24 | koalalorenzo | I just updated the priority of the readme file task |
| 19:13:22 | @swedneck | i guess this is motivating me to learn more guix packaging if nothing else |
| 19:22:35 |  makeworld | In reply to @koalalorenzo:matrix.org
makeworld: then you can check latest version in https://get.siderus.io/orion/latest-version and then download the .deb baesd on that https://get.siderus.io/orion/orion_1.1.3_amd64.deb (just replace 1.1.3 with the content of the previous URL) Yes that is what I will do if I do it |
