Update of Compile and Scripts tools
Compile
and Scripts
are always evolving. Make sure to update your copies by
running the following commands after you boot into your installed system for the
first time:
cd /Programs/Scripts/Current
git pull && UpdateSettings --auto Scripts && make
cd /Programs/Compile/Current
git pull && UpdateSettings --auto Compile
Other outstanding issues
Some problems have been reported by our users and are currently being fixed by our team. They are:
- Copy-and-paste does not work out of the box from a VM. Compiling
spice-vdagent
and loading its daemon should fix that. - Sometimes when trying to
Compile
an already-installed Program, the build process will fail (see Compile bug 51). Sometimes this can be worked around by first manually doing aRemoveProgram <failing program>
before re-attempting toCompile
it. Note that it is generally a Bad Idea™ to try toRemoveProgram
, say,Python3
like this as it will breakCompile
. ContributePackage
is not working – use ContributeRecipe instead.
