Setup & Installation / Re: Install Arca OS via USB stick
« Last post by Remy on April 11, 2024, 01:11:02 am »
Hello everyone,
I bought Arca OS 5.0.5 a couple of years ago and just now finally trying to install it on real hardware, not just VirtulaBox.

I have my ISO file, but Rufus on Windows doesn't recognise it as bootable and writing it to a USB stick doesn't seem to make it bootable. Arca Noae's docs suggest using dfsanwin.exe to create a USB stick installer, but I don't seem to have this anywhere and can't find it online.

Can anybody suggest how to make a USB installer from the ISO?

Cheers

Garry

Hi,

The iso file was into an archive file.
Into this archive file you have the needed dfsee script like dfsanwin usable under windows system as well  readusb.txt about how to create your bootable usb key.
I would suggest you to download your arcaos archive again.

Regards

Hi Garry

The ArcaOS-5.0.5.7z file that you downloaded from ArcaNoae contains dfsanwin.exe

Hi Rich

The joy of the full version is (used to be?) that it starts with no features enabled and the user selects what they want.

I guess in future the user will simply have to select what they want and deselect anything they do not want...

You can also create a config.site file in $PREFIX/share, usually /usr/local/share/config.site. Mine for Mozilla, or IIRC, where %CONFIG_SITE% points.
Code: [Select]
export CFLAGS=-Zomf
export CXXFLAGS=-Zomf
export ASFLAGS=-Zomf
export 'CPPFLAGS=-idirafter w:/usr/include/os2tk45'
export 'LIBS=-lcx -Zomf'

The -idirafter is to search the toolkit for includes after the usual locations such as /@unixroot/usr/include.

This thread is immensely useful and a great complement (or replacement) to BitWise Works wiki page on how to build qt5 (https://github.com/bitwiseworks/qt5-os2/wiki/Developers#building-qt)

Considering there's an official developer page through EDM2, perhaps the very first article should be "how to get started", with this information? Also, should anyone have a script to automate some of this yak shaving setup, it could reduce the friction that many hobbyist developers have to face when approaching OS/2 development...

Hi,
If I'm not wrong most of it is already covered in some other places of these forums. Yet I must say I'm doing much research (in my almost zero spare time) to try and get up-and-running in as few steps as possible.

I'll try to gather and organize as much information as possible and try to contribute to what has already been written. Ad EDM/2 column would be really useful (provided it doesn't already exist!).

Quoting myself because I came across an interesting problem.
If I try to set variables like CFLAGS like this

Code: [Select]
set CFLAGS=-O2 -g

configure and autoreconf work correctly. But I can't set options like -march or -mtune. If I try to set these in double quotes as in

Code: [Select]
set CFLAGS="-O2 -g -march=generic"

even after autoreconf, configure fails giving me troubles in gcc, gxx and cpp - even if I tweak the script.
How can I include -march / -mtune and similar options?
This happens also if I try to use export directive in a shell script...

Mentore

Try,
Code: [Select]
sh configure 'CFLAGS=-O2 -g -march=generic' 'LDFLAGS=-Zomf -Zhigh-mem'

I use double quotes in the environment variables, too.

PS: "Couldn't build executables" is configure's answer to the compiler erroring out.
In configure.log everything is logged. You can see, how the compiler gets called by configure and what answer it gets.

What error message do the compilers give you?

It's not a compiler error, instead it's configure complaining that the compiler found "can't produce executables". If I set the environment variables without double quotes everything works perfectly (I just finished libfftw-3.3.10).

But, if I don't use double quotes, I can't put -march or -mtune in a CMD file or a shell script.
