How to compile aeacus

[Mobmaker55]

Following your directions, I tried to compile the latest version myself. I installed go and garble using the command go get mvdan.cc/garble.
When running make win, I got this error:
'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
What did I do wrong?

Assuming you're using Windows, you'll need to install GNU Make in order to build aeacus using something like GNUWin, MinGW, or MSYS2.

[Mobmaker55]

After trying multiple times to install GNUWin and MinGW (that part is probably on me), I switched to the latest version of Ubuntu (20.04.2).
I tried to run make win again, and this time, got this error:
make: *** No rule to make target 'win'. Stop.
I also tried to just make. That did not work either.
I'm following your directions, I made sure to install go go version go1.16 linux/amd64 and garble using go get mvdan.cc/garble.
What am I still missing?

[safinsingh]

Ah, my bad; we had removed the Makefile in an earlier commit. As of c08b240, you should be able to run the command successfully. Please re-pull and try again; sorry about that.

[Mobmaker55]

It's alright, I'm not used to compiling with anything other than gradle or Maven, so this is a good new experience for me, haha!
Okay, so I think I messed up installing garble...
mob@ubuntu:~/aeacus$ make win
CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=windows garble build -ldflags '-s -w' -tags phocus -o ./phocus.exe . && \
CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=windows garble build -ldflags '-s -w' -o ./aeacus.exe . && \
echo "Windows production build successful!"
/bin/sh: 1: garble: not found
make: *** [Makefile:30: win] Error 127
That's the invocation and the error? that resulted.

[safinsingh]

Is garble installed and has it been added to your $PATH?

[Mobmaker55]

I installed garble using the command go get mvdan.cc/garble
but other than that, I haven't done anything else...

[Mobmaker55]

I don't see where garble would be installed, and I can't find it just browsing through my file tree. How would I add it to my $PATH?

[safinsingh]

By default, Go installs binaries to $GOPATH/bin. In order to set your $PATH correctly, execute the following:

export PATH="$PATH:${GOPATH:-$HOME/go}/bin"

[Mobmaker55]

This is the error I received after running your export PATH-
It started for like 10 minutes, and then randomly stopped with this error, I tried it again just to be sure, but this was the same error the second time too.

I kept trying different stuff (including re-cloning the source), but nothing has worked. I have no idea how to fix this error, do you have any ideas?

[safinsingh]

Have you installed dependencies with go get -v -d -t ./...?

[sourque]

If your goal is to just have the code compiled, and you're not looking to change crypto.go at all, we also made a 'new' release which should be up to date.

Thank you :) this worked! Sorry, I've never used go before, this is all new to me.
However, I did change crypto.go a little, so I want to compile that in.

Okay, so now, do I just move aeacus.exe and phocus.exe to my C:\aeacus directory? Or do I need to move more stuff?

[safinsingh]

You'll also need the assets and misc directories from the repository; that's all.

The misc directory is not in your latest release... would I need to download and install the misc directory separately from a release?

I'm trying to make a configuration guide not only for myself, but for my team, so they can understand how to use aeacus. So, I'm sorry if this is a lot of questions-
