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)

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

  ./docker/setup.sh $BUILD_AREA $ARCH
  

  where $BUILD_AREA is any directory you would like. This is where the build output will be saved. The directory will be created if it does not exist. And $ARCH is armel (or armhf if you are building for RPi or BeagleBone).

• Build the code by running...

  docker exec --tty brickman_armel make install
  

• Copy the contents of $BUILD_AREA/dist/ to the EV3 and run it.

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

• Install the build-deps listed in debian/control and also the packages libev3devkit-desktop-dev and libgtk-3-dev.

• Then...

    mkdir -p <some-build-dir>
    cd <some-build-dir>
    cmake <path-to-brickdm-source> -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=string:Debug -DBRICKMAN_TEST=bool:Yes
    make
    make run
  

• Also see brickman.sublime-project for more build hints.
