Dependences for building BtEmbedded are not clear

[unixbigot]

I've gotten your binary distro of the gateway working on a pi v1 (but pin numbers are different).

I want to work on it to try to tune performance and change pins.

I figured out I needed to apt-get install rake... but then

rake aborted!
cannot load such file -- net/ssh

So, several iterations of build-fail-install-retry, you need these dependencies

apt-get install rake ruby-net-ssh ruby-net-scp

(Aside: As an long time unix 'make' user I'm stumped, where is the actual problem among all that spew?)

Okay, some progress

sudo apt-get install ninja
./build_all
# errors about must run as root

start ninja demon

sudo /etc/init.d/ninja start
./build_all

Same error. Wait, what are you trying to install and run ninja yourself rather than use the system package?

Does your build process expet to run as root??

The build system only worked on a mac os x machine 😞.

I now added a Vagrant configuration for a ubuntu box that installs the dependecies and sets up the cross compile stuff also for a linux. I had to fix some stuff in the build but it should work now.

You now should be able to compile in the vagrant box or get inspired by the Vagrantfile to install the dependencies on your machine.

By the way, its the ninja-build package and it does not need root to build.
