Hello! Why not to compile from Oracle Solaris 11.3? I had success to compile gcc-9.2.0, arm-tools, avr-tools with avrdude, nodejs-v9.9.0 and even qemu-5.1.0 Now i'm learning to write device drivers and pack packages in a better way for Oracle Solaris 11.3 in hope to apply this knowledge for OI. But i had no way to install OI on my Microsoft Surface. ________________________________________ From: Hung Nguyen Gia via oi-dev [[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, January 17, 2021 2:59 AM To: "Adam Števko" Cc: Hung Nguyen Gia; OpenIndiana Developer mailing list; Openindiana Discuss Subject: Re: [oi-dev] OpenIndiana Developer Edition Sorry because I had caused all of this misunderstanding. I'm not good at English. The product of Google Translate + poor human skills created this. My choice of words is unwise or could be plain wrong. Due to affect of mental drugs I have to take, I did many weirded things on this list. Sorry everyone. Let me describe what I want to do: I'm not going to create a fork. The current OI Desktop doesn't include build tools by default. I suggest to add the build-essential package, so it's possible to build illumos-gate using the live image, without having to install to HDD, given we had enough RAM and external disk space. Given my experience so far, I think this will not be accepted. So I'm going to create my own live image of OI, I would called OI Developer Edition, if I'm allowed to use the name OI. I would use this image for myself, but could share with others, too. Perhaps I will upload it to my Google Drive. I had read about Distribution Constructor. But have no experience with it so far. So I'm asking for a guide how to use this tool to create my own image of OI. I think I will pull packages from OI's repo but not build anything myself if it's possible. What I wanted to do is nothing other than remastering OI. Remastering a distro is what we do very regular on Linux. We have tools to do this, e.g: https://github.com/MX-Linux/mx-snapshot and https://github.com/MX-Linux/mx-remaster I think Distribution Constructor is the equivalent tool on OI. Correct me if I'm wrong. The packages listed other than build-essential is for building Pale Moon. Yes, Pale Moon again. Your project refused to package it. Atenian200 after the clash with you also no longer provide prebuilt binary. The last version he provided is here: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=24613 which is a very outdated one. If someone wanted to get Pale Moon, they have to compile from source. OI currently has problems with my UEFI firmware. I can only run OI as a live usb but the installed OI I still keep on my SSD is unable to boot. Everything I did is seeking for a workaround for this: a live system with all of the tools needed. I'm going to provide up to date prebuilt binary of Pale Moon. Of course, via my Google Drive. But it's all cheap talks if I can't run OI itself. I used to think about cross compile from Linux. But I can only has the C cross compiler working. Everything C++ failed. Cross compiling a complex software like Pale Moon also means asking for troubles. ---- On Sun, 17 Jan 2021 00:14:51 +0700 Adam Števko <[email protected]> wrote ---- > Hello, > > out or curiosity, what exactly is the point and added of your proposed fork? > Those packages can be easily installed any time after installing OI. > > I am not sure which exact changes were rejected, but if your raise a > discussion and explain clearly why they are needed, OI developers are more > than happy to accept. > > So, instead of forking and creating a “new distribution”, further > fragmenting the illumos distribution market, cooperate and help us improve > the existing project.
