Create a mulle-clang redistributable from binaries using CPack

These scripts wraps mulle-clang files in /opt into an install package. As a bonus a symbolic link is also generated and packaged.

Create a fresh debian VM (if needed)

• currently 4GB of free file space is needed for a non-debug build
• for debug build multiply by 5
• give it as many CPUs as you can spare
• needs 16GB RAM (sic) at least
• Consider if VM should not have swap space, prefer to crash and reconfigure

Here we are installing into a fresh "buster" VM of the same name:

scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa_vm.pub buster:
ssh buster
mkdir .ssh
mv id_rsa_vm.pub .ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 400 .ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 700 .ssh

Add buster to /etc/hosts on host. Add buster to ~/.ssh/config on host.

Or use an aws instance

Do not skimp on CPU power. c7g.8xlarge or better is what you want. Remember the build will (until the link) scale almost perfectly, so it can be even cheaper to use bigger iron (probably not though because of setup and CPU time).

12GB for compile, 16GB for link 24GB space for disk (assuming none taken by OS install)

Checkout [https://nat.prose.sh/p-cb240a1d-d580-4485-85f8-0aed20792d4e](Install AWS CLI in >distrobox), for some steps how to get going with aws. But basically you are on your own with respect to this file, but AI will guide you. Once you got an EC2 instance up and running and can ssh into it. And install prerequisites:

sudo yum install git clang cmake make ninja-build

You can continue now with One script does all.

Prerequisites

• sudo
• git

On debian, install git and get sudo happening

su
apt-get install git sudo
/sbin/usermod -aG sudo <loginname> # or your login
sudo /sbin/visudo
# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
%sudo   ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
# log off now, so sudo group change takes effect

Install cmake and such things:

wget 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mulle-cc/mulle-clang-project/mulle/14.0.6/clang/bin/install-prerequisites'
chmod 755 install-prerequisites
./install-prerequisites --no-lldb

One script does all

On the VM Host (!) run

VERSION=17.0.6.0 RC= ./create-deb "bullseye"

Semi-manual Usage

On the VM guest run

VERSION=17.0.6.0 package-build

Manual Usage

Unix

Get git happening and clone cpack-mulle-clang:

sudo apt-get install git sudo
git clone https://github.com/mulle-cc/mulle-clang-cpack.git

Build mulle-clang into a local opt folder:

Set VERSION appropriately:

VERSION="17.0.6.0"
RC="" # e.g. -RC1
mkdir mono
cd mono
wget -O - "https://github.com/mulle-cc/mulle-clang-project/archive/${VERSION}${RC}.tar.gz" | tar xfz -
mv "mulle-clang-project-${VERSION}${RC}" mulle-clang-project
mkdir opt/mulle-clang-project
sudo ln -s "$PWD/opt/mulle-clang-project" "/opt/mulle-clang-project"

Build normally

PREFIX="/opt" NAME="${VERSION}" ./mulle-clang-project/clang/bin/cmake-ninja.linux

Create .deb package and upload:

cp ../cpack-mulle-clang/* .
chmod 755 generate-package
./generate-package

macOS - brew

cp mulle-clang-project.rb /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/mulle-objc/homebrew-software/Formula/
brew uninstall mulle-objc/software/mulle-clang-project
brew install --formula --build-bottle mulle-clang-project.rb
brew bottle mulle-objc/software/mulle-clang-project
