Hacking

Get the code:

• Clone of the brickman repo.

    git clone git://github.com/ev3dev/brickman
    cd brickman
    git submodule update --init --recursive
  

To build for the EV3:

• Install Docker (requires Linux/macOS 10.10.3+/Window 10 Pro)

• Install QEMU (Linux only)

  sudo apt-get install qemu-user-static
  

• In the source code directory, run the Docker setup script

  ./docker/setup.sh $ARCH
  

  Where $ARCH is armel (or armhf if you are building for RPi or BeagleBone). Output will be saved to a build-$ARCH directory.

• Build the code by running...

  docker exec --tty brickman_armel make install
  

• Copy the contents of build-$ARCH/dist/ to the EV3 and run it.

To build the desktop test (makes UI development much faster), in a regular terminal, not in Docker:

• Install build dependencies:

  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ev3dev/tools
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install devscripts equivs
  sudo mk-build-deps --install debian/control
  

• Then...

    cmake -P setup.cmake
    make -C build
    make -C build run
