Box86 about pi-apps HOT 23 CLOSED

Box86 has been added just now with commit 1c91abc.

from pi-apps.

Good app suggestion, but there are a few problems with your submission:

• You need to fill out the description field.
• You need to include an icon.
• Unless your dropbox link is regularly updated, Box86 needs to be compiled from source to stay up-to-date.
• You need to use the error() function after every command, for both the install and uninstall scripts.

from pi-apps.

There's a person on the Pi Labs discord who does daily compiles of box86 at https://archive.org/details/box86.7z_20200928. He also made a script to automatically download and install his compiles. I think we can just mod the script he wrote.

Botspot I Used Sonic Download Install Script And Changed It And Filled Out Everything And I Used The Box86 Installer From Novatech

@Botspot Box86.zip
Fixed It And Add A Icon And A Update Tool For Terminal I Could'nt Get Icon To Work

from pi-apps.

This is way more complicated than it needs to be.

• The app's install script clones https://github.com/RaspberryRBX/Raspi-Box86-InstallScript, then runs Raspi-Box86-InstallScript/FullInstallBox86.sh
  • FullInstallBox86.sh clones https://github.com/DeadRasBoi12/Box86-Pilabs, then runs Box86-Pilabs/install_box86.sh and Box86-Pilabs/Box86Updater.sh.
    • install_box86.sh clones https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86, then compiles box86 from source.
    • Box86Updater.sh pulls the latest box86 and compiles it again!

Well It's An Old Script I Pulled From My Github

from pi-apps.

But It Should Work

But It Should Work

And if/when it doesn't work for someone's install, we would have to slog through all those layers of complexity to locate the problem.

Box86 will be added as an app, but the install script should compile box86 directly, not download a repository, that downloads a repository, that downloads a repository, to install box86.

ok

@Botspot I've Made A Easy Updater For It And It Not Complex It Should Work Now And It Doesn't Have All Them Git clones still no image working

Box86 will be added to Pi-Apps. This issue will remain open until until it's added.

from pi-apps.

@RaspberryRBX In case you're wondering why it's taking so long, it's because:

• Your script needs some changes, and I haven't been able to finish making those changes yet because:
• I am busy with developing vdesktop, PPT, other app requests, and personal matters.

@mobilegmyt Getting that to work is taking more effort than I imagined.
As compiling box86 only takes a couple minutes on a Pi4, it doesn't seem like a big deal to do exactly that - have each Pi compile box86 locally instead of downloading a precompiled release.

from pi-apps.

Yea that seems a bit easier.

@Botspot Add Cmake install to box86 installer

from pi-apps.

@Botspot Add Cmake install to box86 installer

Mind telling me why that's necessary? On my system, box86 installs just fine without executing cmake install.
Also, the official Box86 compilation guide doesn't mention having to run cmake install either.

from pi-apps.

@Botspot In The Compiling U Need Cmake
also i meant sudo apt install cmake

from pi-apps.

Not Cmake Install

from pi-apps.

So Can U Add sudo apt install cmake on the box86 installer

from pi-apps.

Oh! @RaspberryRBX thank you so much for pointing that out!

I had forgotten that cmake does not come installed on default Raspbian.

from pi-apps.

OK. There we go. 3c7c17d
