Gnoga, raspbian jessie and the PI

Gnoga, raspbian jessie and the PI

[tonyg]

I don't know if anyone else has tried, but I have just successfully built GNOGA and the tutorials successfully on a raspberry pi with the standard issued debian packages AWS 3.2 and gnat (don't know the version).

raspbian version is Jessie btw

That is awesome!! Could you perhaps make some sort of simple "How To" document I can add to the Gnoga docs and eventually the website.

Will do.

Start of Instructions 

Installing Gnoga on Raspbian Jessie from raspbian wheezy

Note : with actual commands I have put the dollar sign before the command !

first change your /etc/apt/sources.list so it looks like 
deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie main contrib non-free rpi

(basically change the word wheezy to jessie)

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get upgrade

$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

after this is done (it may be easier installing from a raspbian jessie image - I have not tried this yet)

$sudo apt-get install libaws3.2.0-dev  

then follow the install instructions for Gnoga as on the website

End of Instructions.


Please tell me if there is an error here

Great I'll give it a go this weekend.
I'd like to get a AWS with ssl support on the pi,
I wonder if the prebuilt library is ssl-enabled.
(for non gnoga stuff, I use the aws.client.get with https urls)

But perhaps it is possible to build AWS on a raspbian now.
In the past (last try was last week), I could only build it on a
Debian Pi, Templates_parser killed the build.


I did post this on the gnoga-list, but then I saw the answer on cla too,
and thought there might be an interest in knowing that building AWS on
the Raspbian Pi has failed - I guess until now.

Yes it is, thanks to Nicolas Boulenguez.  libaws3.2.0 is linked with GNU
TLS, not OpenSSL, because the GPL and the OpenSSL license are
incompatible.

If you find any problem, do not hesitate to report a bug to Debian via
the usual channels (i.e. M-x debian-bug in emacs :))  But hurry because
Debian Jessie will freeze on November 5 and will therefore not accept
any bug fixes that are not critical.

That is very exciting news. Do you know when it will be public on the webpage etc?

Since Gnoga depends on a the new AWS in Jessie is going to be great to be able to just say for linux use Debian Jessie out of the box.

Hmm, the upgrade broke my LXDE ...
I might not be able to fix it until next week, so
I'm not testing it yet :-(
