BaCon development set up

[bigbass]

This is debian based for the raspberry pi3 and now 64 bit mint 21
all the latest updates will be in this first post

---------------------------------------------------------------
I did a port for Manjaro here uses a different package manager!
sourceforge.net/projects/bassix-gtk3-webkit-browser/files/Manjaro/bacon-setup-manjaro-1.0.0.tar.bz2/download
---------------------------------------------------------------



The Idea is to have what is needed to get started correctly
and avoid some of the common pit-falls along the way
when we set up a new box


if you are running any debian based system with apt-get installed
./auto-install-bacon
bash script will get the correct arch version and install it for you
and build from source for rpi3 later you can upgrade to fossil with the fossil-get script




After bacon was fully
Installed you could
use the Gui to
Do advanced things
But not needed for most people
the fltk GUI offers more advanced options
to set up your bacon development box
there is a readme with more details




32 bit and 64 bit support now
non root version


Aug 15 2022 total rewrite of auto-install-bacon script very fast now and less code
separated the syntax highlighting for bacon so that it can be run on non debian systems too
Using syntax-fix for kate, Qt5,Geany,nano,gtk3 sourceview
added a log file
cleaned up syntax-fix
added arm64
added a build for fltk 1.3.8 (tested on manjaro rpi 64 bit)
fixed code to install 64 bit deb and added ksh to the check

Dear Joe,

Thanks for the prog and script. I think it might be useful to include rsvg dev and oss stuff in the atp-get list. What do you think?

With kind regards,

I need to have Bacon and fltk just to be able to compile a program into a GUI,
with which I can install bacon and fltk.

[rikky]

Ok, I apologise.
Criticism, without being constructive is not very nice.

So lets make it a 'Bacon update'

newest_version$ = INBETWEEN$(EXEC$("curl -s http://www.basic-converter.org/stable/"),"bacon_","_")

And then something like:

EXEC$("sudo  wget -N \"$URL_LOCATION_BACON\"bacon_" & newest_version$ & "_${result_MY_OS}.deb")
EXEC$("sudo dpkg -i  bacon_" & newest_version$ & "_${result_MY_OS}.deb")

Hello Rik


Yes, you see the little problem with the circle dependencies

That is The idea here you get the fltk source and bacon deb downloaded
into the folder you can even compile the app so you wont need the g++ compiler also

instead of fishing around through several forum threads looking for stuff we need
I hope when its finished it will ease the pain a little and be all in one place

P.S I edited the bacon installer to use gdebi-gtk I dont know if the RPI
has that or not but we could fall back to dpkg -i if there is a problem
reason is gdebi-gtk is standard on mint and helps with the deps


Any feed back or suggestion I will add into the setup
we do a lot of experimenting and some deps get lost in the shuffle
or we forget something we need and only discover setting up a new box



Thanks Rik I just saw your suggestion I like it

I UPDATED the gui version3
I will add your suggestion and snippet in version 4

Dear Joe,

Thanks for the update. I have also been thinking out loud and remember that some distributions have dash, not bash or zsh, and therefore can't compile the bacon source. It might be a good idea to include those two shell interpreters in the list. And perhaps a button that will download and compile the latest BaCon beta from the fossil repository. Again, I am just thinking out loud...

With kind regards,
vovchik

Nope, there is no gdebi-gtk  op the RPi preinstalled.
And the $PATH variable is set to 'xterm', which is not installed.
There is an lxterminal, but that behaves differently on the -bg and -fg options.
but worst of all, there is no bacon_3.7.3-1_armhf.deb 

SoMY_OS$ = CHOP$(EXEC$("dpkg --print-architecture"))
result$ = EXEC$("curl -s http://www.basic-converter.org/stable/")
newest_version$ = INBETWEEN$(result$,"bacon_","_")
IF NOT(INSTR(result$,"bacon_" & newest_version$ & "_" & MY_OS$)) THEN
 
 ' do something
 
 FOR this_line$ IN result$ STEP NL$
   IF INSTR(this_line$,".tar.gz") THEN
     bacon_package = "http://www.basic-converter.org/stable/" & \
     INBETWEEN$(this_line$,"href=" & CHR$(34),CHR$(34))
   END IF
 NEXT this_line$
 
 'etc
 
END IF

MY_OS$ = CHOP$(EXEC$("dpkg --print-architecture"))

Upgrading now to the next version,
which I forgot.

Hello vovchik

already added your code for fossil( I really like the idea)
however it wont build fltk bacon correctly
this leaves you with a new install of bacon needed

could you confirm with your code here that's what I used
basic-converter.proboards.com/post/11014


bacon beta 3.8 did build but not the fltk GUI
bacon -v

BaCon version 3.8 beta on Linux x86_64 - (c) Peter van Eerten - MIT License
will upload the new setup4 when that gets sorted


update bacongui-gtk builds so the problem is only with fltk

Thanks

Joe

[vovchik]

Der Joe,

I built everything yesterday (1 July version), including the fltk and gtk GUIs, using that very code as a script. Weird that it failed for you. I just run the code in a terminal and give my root password during the make install part. Perhaps something is going on in the "configure" part, so it fails, with some bad default setting, to make the GUI progs. Check config.log in /bacon_trunk for that. Weird.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Hey vovchik


I get an error compiling bacongui-fltk
auto it failed so I tried doing it manually to see why

I know this is beta so It's not a big deal

./bacon -a bacongui-fltk.bac
Converting 'bacongui-fltk.bac'... done, 2570 lines were processed in 0.564 seconds.
New BaCon archive requested! Creating...

Compiler error:

here is the latest with the fossil build maybe you could try
I'll try to see what happened tonight when I get home

[vovchik]

Dear Joe,

Thanks for the update. Everything built on my computer (Mint 17.3), but I removed the sudo you had used for the general make. That will only create problems later -- if the user starts the program as user -- since it will generate some files belonging to root in the user directory, and these will not get removed by a normal rm. It is better, I think, to not to use sudo for anything except "make install". Both GUIs got built normally...with my replacement of "sudo make" by a plain "make" first. I think sudo should also be removed from the fltk build script - except for "make install" for the same reason. Looking at that fltk build error, I am at a loss, since we are using the same BaCon and the same fltk.

With kind regards,
vovchik

[bigbass]

Took some good advice and will add some more
suggestions uploaded new version first post

Joe

[vovchik]

Dear Joe,

Thanks. It's getting better with every iteration. I just got an idea which is not hard to implement. What about also writing out a log tracking all the activities, with a date stamp? Just thinking out loud again...

With kind regards,
vovchik

[bigbass]

Hello vovchik


Sounds like a much needed addition to troubleshoot sticky problems
which I have right now with bacon beta from fossil

on this very simple snippet idea we can do many things already
cat /var/log/dpkg.log| grep -i " installed " | grep geany




even better searchable input
and yes log all that we do with the app /scripts


oh almost forgot to say fltk is official 1.3.4 from apt-get on mint 19
we avoid many steps with that official update
Joe
