[9fans] hg and golang

[9fans] hg and golang

[Ramakrishnan Muthukrishnan]

Hello 9fans and plan9 hackers,

Number of plan9 installations at my tiny bedroom in a corner in India,
went up from 1 to 2, 1st being a raspberry pi and now, a 9atom
installation on virtualbox that I wanted to mess with, as a cpu
system.

I searched and didn't find a canonical way to install mercurial and
golang on plan9. Can someone point to me some instructions? I see from
the golang build dashboard[1] that golang on plan9 is reasonably
healthy.

PS: This list is great. Digging up the archives has given me access to
bottomless pit of knowledge and wisdom! Thanks.

hopefully i've got this correct.  rc history to the rescue
python may or may not work on the standard distribution.  there are some
ape patches that have not gone in yet.

	cd /sys/src
	hget https://bitbucket.org/jas/cpython/get/2.7-plan9.tar.bz2 |bunzip2|tar xv
	hget http://selenic.com/hg/archive/b96cb15ec9e0.tar.bz2 |bunzip2|tar xv
	rm -f @LongLink
	mv jas-cpython-cea9c7fcee30 cpython	# details may vary
	mv Mercurial-b96cb15ec9e0 hg		# details may vary
	cd cpython
	mk
	mk stage
	mk install

python has some odd troubles with its mkfile, so you might need to mk stage
more than once.

hg and python you need are on sources.
% 9fs sources
% cd /n/sources/contrib/jas

there is a compiled version here:
http://www.9legacy.org/download.html

after that 'hg clone' the sources for Go, etc.

Thank you Erik.

I got an out of physical memory at this point, while in the middle of
the build. I will try increasing the memory (I am running on a
virtualbox instance)

that's kind of odd.  how much memory are you using, and can you send a screenshot?

As Skip said, Python 2.7.6 and Mercurial 2.8.2 are available
as a binary package on http://www.9legacy.org/download.html.

If you want to compile from sources, you will need to
get the APE changes from Jeff Sickel. If you are running
Plan 9 from Bell Labs, you can apply the following patch:

http://www.9legacy.org/9legacy/patch/ape-jas.diff

Here is an excerpt from my notes to compile Python on Plan 9:

# clone the repositories from Unix

hg clone -r 2.8.2 http://selenic.com/hg
hg clone -b 2.7-plan9 https://bitbucket.org/jas/cpython

# copy the directories to Plan 9

mkdir /sys/src/cmd/cpython
dircp /mnt/term/home/djc/tmp/cpython /sys/src/cmd/cpython

mkdir /sys/src/cmd/hg
dircp /mnt/term/home/djc/tmp/hg /sys/src/cmd/hg

# get the ape changes from Jeff Sickel

hget http://www.9legacy.org/9legacy/patch/ape-jas.diff | ape/patch -p0

# build ape

cd /sys/src/ape && mk nuke && mk install && mk clean

# build python

cd /sys/src/cmd/cpython
mk stage
mk install

# archive

disk/mkfs -a -s dist /sys/lib/sysconfig/proto/allproto > /tmp/cpython.mkfs

# extract

disk/mkext -d / < /tmp/cpython.mkfs

I only had 64MB, sorry, my mistake.. I increased it to 1024MB and it
compiled but I get mk stage errors. I will look at Skip's and David's
instructions to apply the APE patch and try again.

Attaching the screenshot for the out of memory error.

Ramakrishnan,

Let me know if you’re still getting mk stage errors.

You should be able to use the latest hg (2.9.1) if you grab the source release (http://mercurial.selenic.com/release/mercurial-2.9.1.tar.gz).  Just note that the following patch-diff has never been accepted for some reason.

Hello David,

That worked perfectly! Thanks. I compiled python from sources. I now
have a working Python and Mercurial installation. Now, on to compiling
Go.

Thank you again, to everyone.

Thank you Jeff. I have now got a working hg installation! :) Thanks a lot.

Quite pleased with what I have got today and managed to learn some new
things about the system.

By the way, I've just updated the binary package to Mercurial 2.9.1.

Sure, I need to rush now for work, I will reduce the memory back to
64MB once I get back to work and send you the errors I see.

Thanks

what build error did you get.  do you mind sending it along?  perhaps it as caused by truncated intermediates.
