Building from source

[ccoudsi]

I'm following this link to build my development environment http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Building_LinuxMCE_0810
I was able to run the preparation steps one by one then I run "./build.sh" and I can see all packages created/moved to "/var/www"
after installing apache2 on the builder machine, I moved to the test machine and I did "pre-install-from-repo.sh" per "Installing 0810"
and I modifed my "sources.list" to use my "deb http://192.168.0.35/ ./" instead of "deb http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/ interpid beta2"
when I run "apt-get update" on the test machine I get the following error " W: failed to fetch http://192.168.0.35/ ./Packages.gz 404 Not Found"
I can see "Packages.gz" on the builder machine under "/var/www"
Any ideas???

[nite_man]

IMHO it isn't related with LMCE. Have a look that howto. Maybe it'll help you.

[ccoudsi]

Can you please check my attached  "/var/www" & test machine "sources.list" contents if it looks OK not missing anything???

Here's the output when I run the "apt-get update" on the test machine

Did you do these steps from the wiki?

LegoGT,
Yes, I did that same results.

Now I created a VM with only Kubuntu 810 and I skipped the section about "Setting up a chroot environment" and run the following :

1)
sudo su -
apt-get update

apt-get install subversion

cd Ubuntu_Helpers_NoHardcode
./install.sh
cd /usr/local/lmce-build

Anybody anything on this last error, i got it too.

[dcubox1]

Im lookin to build from source however I dont want to ruin my current live hybrid setup.
Can I build my dev environment in a VM setup? or what is the best method?
If VM is an option anyone know where I can download a kubuntu VM setup?

[nite_man]

Sure you can run build env under VMWare or under VirtualBox which is free. Just install it and create a new Ubuntu virtual machine. Then install Kubuntu nad setup dev env as it's described in the wiki. BTW, you can have on your core and use chroot env to isolate it.

[dcubox1]

Im giving the VirtualBox setup a go.
I have just installed Kubuntu 810 so im just wondering are the instructions on
http://wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/Building_LinuxMCE_0810 still relevant? minus the chrooting as im just going to use this as a dev environment?

[rperre]

yes still good, but...... there is a script floating around that possy made to make a chroot environment, was easy to use.
i just used a clean ubuntu install on virtualbox and than made a chroot build on it.

BTW, make sure you make your hard drive big enough, it probably needs to be 60Gb+ or even 80Gb so, i ran out of space on my 40Gb and it's difficult to expand the hard drive space on virtualbox.

On a side note to save some space, don't make the cd1 and cd2 iso's

I build mine in a virtualbox and it's good to go now, even got the apache server working going out.

Now i'm trying to make another vm to test the build.

[MarcoZan]

I'm not a virtualization guru, so my question may sound quite stupid.

Currently I have LMCE 7.10 working, and would like to give 8.10 a try. Do you think it is possible to set up a virtual machine with 8.10 on the same box ? Is there anyone that already did it?
I'm asking this because my core is actually the only box with enough disc space and horse power that I have. I guess that the problem may be on the network side, as both LMCEs would claim to be in the 192.168.80.0 network and try to be the DHCP server for that.
Is there any hint/setting for VMware/Virtualbox to prevent such a network mess?

Thanks and regards

Marco

[nite_man]

Not sure that using VMWare is a good idea in  your case. I have dual boot core/hybrid with 0710 and 0810. So, I can test 0810. But it something wrong with it (it happens often ) I just boot 0710.

Why do I need 60+GB of space all I want to do is setup an environment where I can fool around with the code and database!?
Would less then 10GB not suffice?

I have 40Gb for Virtual Box LinuxMCE installation. To just run and test LinuxMCE is enough 10GB. But to setup env for building LinuxMCE it's not. The full checkout of the sources is about 5GB or more if I remember correctly.

Do remember that VBox has dynamically-growing disks
