openvix dev build instructions

[Huevos]

Remember those instructions are for 20.04.

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install build-essential

That should get you GCC.

Now check version:

$ gcc --version

I'm using 21.04 and looks like this:

$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 10.3.0-1ubuntu1) 10.3.0

Hi,

I've decided to give building new openvix ago using this guide.

However, I'm getting stuck on step 1 (yes step 1 haha).

It is failing to find gcc-8 package. The error I get is:-

Package gcc-8 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'gcc-8' has no installation candidate

Removing gcc-8 from the list of packages to install, I can then install the rest of the packages without an issue.

I've stopped after this point as don't want to proceed further until I get gcc-8 installed.

I'm using Ubuntu 22.04.1

Anyone any ideas?

I shouldn‘t worry I have 22.04 and gcc is 11.2.0 …. And everything builds just fine

Just install gcc. This will install the latest (11.2.0), which works fine.

Hi,

I've successfully followed this guide on building branch 5.1 and had no issues.

I created new folder and cloning the newer 5.2 branch but when I start the build off, I get the following error:-


Could someone point me in correct direction on what/where I need to change to get passed this error?

PS: Once passed this error, should I expect anymore?

Haven't seen that in any of my builds. That is an old variable, how has that got in the new env?

Try going in the machine folder (some thing like /home/openvix/6.3/builds/openvix/developer/vuultimo4k) and try the following:

. env.source
unset BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE

That seems to have worked as it's building now. thank you.

No idea how/why I got that. I just built using the existing guide and older (now) branch which built okay. Just when I created new folder and cloned newer branch, did that error suddenly show. I'm building release (not develop).
