# Asuro
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We welcome everyone to give building/breaking/fixing/shooting Asuro a go, feel free to follow the steps below and mess with Asuro for fun or profit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Setting up your build environment
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Prerequisites
|
||||||
|
* [WSL2](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10)
|
||||||
|
WSL2 is used in conjunction with Docker to predefine a build environment for Asuro.
|
||||||
|
* [Docker for Windows](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/)
|
||||||
|
Docker is used to ensure a predefined environment with the correct versions of; Freepascal, Binutils, NASM, Make, xorriso & grub-mk-rescue installed is used for compilation. An ISO will be generated at the end of the build process.
|
||||||
|
* [Git (Obviously)](https://git-scm.com/)
|
||||||
|
I don't think this needs an explaination.
|
||||||
|
* [VSCode (Optional, but highly recommended)](https://code.visualstudio.com/)
|
||||||
|
Visual Studio code is our IDE of choice, and we have a number of recommended plugins.
|
||||||
|
* [C# Plugin by Microsoft](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-dotnettools.csharp)
|
||||||
|
This plugin gives you the ability to use the 'coreclr' task type, allowing the automatic launching of virtualbox with the resulting image generated during compilation of Asuro.
|
||||||
|
* [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/)
|
||||||
|
Virtualbox is our Virtualisation environment of choice, don't ask why, it just is.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Installation (correct as of 2021/06/20)
|
||||||
|
1. Install WSL2 as described in the article linked above & ensure Virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.
|
||||||
|
2. Ensure WSL2 is used by default with the following command:
|
||||||
|
```powershell
|
||||||
|
wsl --set-default-version 2
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
3. Install Docker for Windows.
|
||||||
|
4. Install Git for Windows.
|
||||||
|
5. Install VSCode & the listed plugins.
|
||||||
|
6. Install VirtualBox.
|
||||||
|
7. Clone this repository.
|
||||||
|
8. Run the following command in the root of the repo to build the docker image:
|
||||||
|
```powershell
|
||||||
|
docker-compose build builder
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
9. Run the following command to compile Asuro:
|
||||||
|
```powershell
|
||||||
|
docker-compose run builder
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
10. Create a new virtual machine in Virtualbox and mount the `Asuro.iso` generated in step 9 as a boot image.
|
||||||
|
11. Add the virtualbox installation directory to your `%PATH%` environment variable, usually:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
%PROGRAMFILES%\Oracle\VirtualBox
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
12. Naviage to your virtualbox machines folder, this is usually the following
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
%userprofile%\VirtualBox VMs\<VM Name>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Open the Virtual Machine Definition file (.vbox) in your text editor of choice and find the following line:
|
||||||
|
```xml
|
||||||
|
<Machine uuid="{7d395c96-891c-4139-b77d-9b6b144b0b93}" name="Asuro" OSType="Linux" snapshotFolder="Snapshots" lastStateChange="2021-06-20T20:33:07Z">
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Copy the uuid, in our case `7d395c96-891c-4139-b77d-9b6b144b0b93` and replace the uuid found in `.vscode\launch.json` under `args`, so that it looks something like this:
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"configurations": [
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"name":"Run",
|
||||||
|
"request": "launch",
|
||||||
|
"type": "coreclr",
|
||||||
|
"preLaunchTask": "Build",
|
||||||
|
"program": "VBoxSDL",
|
||||||
|
"args": [
|
||||||
|
"--comment",
|
||||||
|
"Asuro",
|
||||||
|
"--startvm",
|
||||||
|
"<YOUR UUID HERE>"
|
||||||
|
],
|
||||||
|
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
|
||||||
|
"console": "internalConsole",
|
||||||
|
"internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen"
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
]
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
This will allow VSCode to automatically launch VirtualBox once Asuro has been compiled.
|
||||||
|
13. Open your project folder in VSCode, use CTRL+SHIFT+B to build & F5 to build + run in VBox.
|
||||||
|
14. Congratulations! You can now play with Asuro!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Gotchas
|
||||||
|
- It was noted that Windows builds above `20H2` seem to have issues installing WSL2. We may have to wait for a patch from Microsoft to fix this. Our devs are currently using build `20H2`.
