I don't think the PX4 setup script should decide whether a user is to
use ccache or not. Anecdotally, I've heard from some in the dev team
that they are not using it themselves, so I don't think there is a good
basis to push it onto others.
That being said, we can of course still use ccache as part of the CI
builds nevertheless.
- cmake NuttX build wrapper compile in place instead of copying source tree to build directory
- slightly faster skipping necessary copying (depending on system)
- allows debugging in place
- easier to work directly in NuttX following official documentation
- simplifies overall build which should make it easier to resolve any remaining NuttX dependency issues in the build system
- the downside is switching back and forth between different builds always require rebuilding NuttX, but I think this is worth the improved developer experience
- also no longer builds px4io and bootloader in every single build, for most users these rarely change and we're wasting a lot of build time
- mavlink/mavlink is now directly included as a submodule instead of the generated mavlink/c_library_v2
- this also switches to mavlink development.xml by default
This fixes running the Ubuntu setup script in a Python virtual
environment. This was failing because pip doesn't allow the --user
option in virtual environments.
I usually called it using `source arch.sh`
but if it's executable it could also be called using `./arch.sh`
and that's also what's done for the ubuntu setup script.
Script failed for me with following error
PX4-Autopilot/Tools/setup/arch.sh: line 159: syntax error near unexpected token `else'
PX4-Autopilot/Tools/setup/arch.sh: line 159: ` else'
Seems like there is nothing to do in case of positive if case.
Changed code should maintain logic
- Spaces -> tabs.
- Remove "brew install python" because it's already a dependency of the
px4-dev tap.
- Remove "brew install ccache" as we can also add it to the px4-dev tap.
- Don't try to update pip installation, it works fine as is.
- Install pip dependencies as user, no need for system-wide install.
