Complete the CompileCommands.md

this doesn't need to be verbatim exactly how to build each app or look pretty, but it would be nice to at least semi-document all apps here and how to go about reproducing their binarires, debs, or tarfiles (whatever is relavent).

for example, I'm looking at alacricity terminal and would like to make a deb myself but don't know if this was done with some automated method or if it was manually done.

[Botspot]

I am interested in seeing this happen too.
Compile commands are both useful and reduce the bus factor in the event that a maintainer disappears for good.

The remaining undocumented apps are:

• Amiberry
• Lightpad

[theofficialgman]

github desktop is also undocumented but I will add that myself if I am given push access to this repo.

I thought you already had push access, as you are a member of Pi-Apps-Coders.

I'm a member, but that didn't give me any other privileges besides seeing who the other members are

You’re making changes in a project you don’t have write access to. Submitting a change will write it to a new branch in your fork theofficialgman/files, so you can send a pull request.

Here is what I know. I can make a pr in a bit.

• For Alacritty, I used @jmcerrejon's piKiss script (the compile function), located here, then I packaged a deb manually.
• Amiberry: I grabbed the precompiled zip from the latest release and manually packaged it.
• AntiMicroX was packaged withdpkg-buildpackage using my debianization files here
• balenaEtcher uses the instructions from here
• I believe fsnotifier-pycharm-rpi.zip comes from this blog post
• LightPad: I think the debs are taken from the latest release but I cannot confirm that for sure, if they are then I suggest we remove them from thisrepo since they are not needed
• Remarkable's original package had several dependency issues that haven't yet been fixed in the main repo, so it has been repackaged using these instructions.

[theofficialgman]

regarding pycharm, the issues with the upstream build have been fixed (I downloaded it and tested and they include arm and aarch64 binaries for libpty.so). terminal/python consoles work with no additional changes necessary to libpty.so

aarch64/libpty.so:  ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=f9761a3f0e1e4b3f69b6c2e6797fc7bbd5191732, not stripped

so we can simplify the pi-apps script and remove the zip from here
(no need for these lines now)

[theofficialgman]

oh actually the fsnotifier zip is what comes from this repo... well it doesn't matter. I'll be removing libpty compilation from pi-apps

Try it again. I've enabled write permissions for all members of this organization. (I thought this was already turned on, sorry about that)

I have access now, thanks

alacritty/alacritty#5902

given that upstream now has GLES2 support, we should build debs on upstream alacritty master (the latest release it too old to include it)

in the meantime, I corrected the current deb for arm64 to have libc 2.18 in the control file instead of 2.28, since I did an objdump -T alacritty | grep -i "glibc_" and found nothing higher to be required

[theofficialgman]

• LightPad: I think the debs are taken from the latest release but I cannot confirm that for sure, if they are then I suggest we remove them from thisrepo since they are not needed

I diffed the debs, they are named differently and have binary differences

@Itai-Nelken what did you change for lightpad from the official release if you remember? 7e87815

[theofficialgman]

oh I see.. maybe it came from Botspot/pi-apps@c6ce659

@scamdotnet can you elaborate what you changed?

[scamdotnet]

I'm honestly not sure as I can't download the deb file anymore. I might have a copy of it on one of my Pi's, but I would have to set them up. I'll keep you updated if I can find the new deb file though!

[scamdotnet]

Quick question, is the file hosted at https://github.com/Pi-Apps-Coders/files/raw/main/lightpad_0.0.8rev1_arm64.deb a reupload of http://transfer.sh/get/1HvLYEm/lightpad_0.0.8~rev1_arm64.deb?
