Re: [Sugar-devel] compiled to .XO
You need do only make (and not make install), copy the generated binaries in a bin directory inside the activity directory, and probably you will need start the acivity with a .sh file and set env variables. You can look at the Tuxmath activity as a example.

I was thinking about how we would package the binaries, given that the .xo activity isn't supposed to install in /usr/local/bin and other locations. If we bundle the RPM, the olpc user does not have rights to install the binary. Easy: no install the binaries.. only use them,,You can compile (make), and after use the binaries into the same folder..

Am attaching an copy of an email I sent earlier to someone with a
question similar to yours. IMHO that email provides a concise how-to
guide to fashioning a bare-bones .xo package.
[Obviously, your 'exec' line must be appropriate to your binary.]
[The example had a library which was explicitly linked-to from within
that binary. If your binary does not need any special library, just
leave out the library part from the attached instructions.]
[If your binary *does* need to be supplied with a specific library, move
that library into (for example) the subdirectory itself, then add this
line (without the ) before your 'exec' line
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SUGAR_BUNDLE_PATH/your-library-name
to indicate *where* that library can be accessed.]
To produce the .xo file, just 'pack' the subdirectory you created.

Here is one way to package your stuff so it can be launched from an icon
in the XO's Home View:
DISCLAIMER: To set this up, I used my templates from 2009 (for
sugarizing a Linux executable). I have __NOT__ referenced (nor
incorporated) any SugarLabs advances from any intervening years.
1) Create a directory (either in /home/olpc/Activities, or linked-to
from there). Mine was called Evil.activity.
In 'Evil.activity', create subdirectories 'activity' and 'bin'
2) Move your binary into 'Evil.activity/' [I called it 'evil.eng'}
Move your 'id1' directory into 'Evil activity/'
Note: 'Evil.activity' now contains:
activity{a directory}
evil.eng{a binary}
bin {a directory}
id1 {a directory}
Move your 'icon.svg' into 'Evil.activity/activity/'
3) Add file 'Evil.activity/activity/activity.info' with content:
[Activity]
name = Evil
service_name = com.atphalix.evil
exec = runevil
icon = icon
activity_version = 1
host_version = 1
[Note: This is how it was in 2009. I have not looked at whether
activity.info lines have been added/removed since then.]
[In the above, you get to choose name and service name]
'runevil' is the name of the script in 'Evil.activity/bin/'
4) Copy 'libsugarize.so' into 'Evil.activity/bin/'
Add file 'Evil.activity/bin/runevil' with content:
#!/bin/bash
while [ -n $2 ] ; do
echo OO: $1 $2
case $1 in
-b | --bundle-id) export SUGAR_BUNDLE_ID=$2 ;;
-a | --activity-id) export SUGAR_ACTIVITY_ID=$2 ;;
-o | --object-id) export SUGAR_OBJECT_ID=$2 ;;
-u | --uri) export SUGAR_URI=$2 ;;
*) echo unknown argument $1 $2 ;;
esac
shift;shift
done
export LD_PRELOAD=$SUGAR_BUNDLE_PATH/bin/libsugarize.so
export NET_WM_NAME=Evil
exec ./evil.eng -mem 64 -width 1200 -height 900 +map start
exit
Obviously, the names/locations specified in this script must
correspond to what is in your Evil.activity directory.
[And when you create the two files whose content is shown above,
please leave off the(they're for clarity in the printout).]
For me, the above worked. [With an old libsugarize.so, there might be a
redundant launch screen (with error message) left over. It's harmless,
and can eventually be closed.]
