//// Steps for First Time Setup
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. INSTALL DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
|
|
|
|
1a. On Windows, install Cygwin. It's downloadable from
|
|
www.cygwin.com or specifically: www.cygwin.com/setup.exe
|
|
|
|
** of the packages, begin with the defaults, and add:
|
|
|
|
+ svn - used for version control
|
|
|
|
+ make, gcc-mingw, and g++ - used to build arduino.exe
|
|
(this will also pull in gcc-core)
|
|
|
|
+ perl - use this version, activestate or other distros have trouble
|
|
|
|
+ unzip, zip - for dealing with archives
|
|
|
|
+ included in the defaults, but make sure:
|
|
coreutils (or textutils), gzip, tar
|
|
|
|
+ not required but useful:
|
|
openssh - command line ssh client
|
|
nano - handy/simple text editor
|
|
|
|
** and be sure to leave the option selected for 'unix line endings'
|
|
|
|
the cygwin installer is sometimes a little flakey, so it may take more
|
|
than one try to get everything in there. in fact, it's often best to
|
|
run the installer once, and let it install all its defaults, then run
|
|
it again, and select the items above. it's also useful to run the
|
|
installer every few months to keep things fresh.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1b. On Mac OS X, install Apple's Developer Tools. Should work with
|
|
everything from the December 2002 Tools for Jaguar on OS X 10.2,
|
|
up through the more recent Xcode stuff.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1c. On Linux, you're pretty much on your own.. You need jikes (or
|
|
edit make.sh to use a different compiler), java, avr-gcc, make,
|
|
and subversion. You'll also have to set some environment
|
|
variables (see make.sh for details).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. GRAB THE CODE FROM BERLIOS
|
|
|
|
* this grabs the code as an anonymous user.
|
|
|
|
# grab the code, it'll take a while
|
|
svn co svn://svn.berlios.de/arduino/trunk
|
|
# (maybe even a long while for you dialup and international folks)
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. BUILD IT
|
|
|
|
# now to build for the first time:
|
|
cd /path/to/arduino/build/windows
|
|
|
|
# or if you're on linux
|
|
cd /path/to/arduino/build/linux
|
|
|
|
# for the followers of goatee man
|
|
cd /path/to/arduino/build/macosx
|
|
|
|
# and then..
|
|
./make.sh
|
|
|
|
# if everything went well, you'll have no errors. (feel free to make
|
|
# suggestions for things to include here for common problems)
|
|
|
|
# then to run it
|
|
./run.sh
|
|
|
|
# each time you make a change, use make to build the thing
|
|
# and run to get it up and running.
|
|

|
|
//// Updating to the Latest Version
|
|
|
|
|
|
4a. Each time you want to update to latest version from cvs:
|
|
|
|
cd /path/to/arduino
|
|
svn update
|
|
|
|
|
|
4b. If new folders have been added, or you're gettin odd errors, use:
|
|
|
|
# remove the work directory
|
|
rm -rf work
|
|
|
|
|

//// Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
|
|
- What about eclipse? What about ant? The command line is frightening
|
|
and gives me nightmares!
|
|
|
|
In a basic sense, the command line stuff isn't as scary as it might
|
|
seem. Hopefully it's just a matter of following the instructions
|
|
above (and being patient). If not, let us know where you have trouble
|
|
so we can fix things.
|
|
|
|
Conceivably, it wouldn't take much to make Arduino build under
|
|
Eclipse or any other IDE, but we don't do it by default. Same goes for
|
|
ANT. We don't use it, but if someone were to make build scripts that
|
|
emulated everything that the current build scripts do (not just build
|
|
the code, but all the other annoying crap that the build scripts do)
|
|
then maybe we could switch to it. It's all about reaching some kind
|
|
of critical mass.
