FRC(++) Build tools

This repository contains the raw make files and scripts for building and deploying code for FRC C++ teams. Will automatically download and compile with the latest version of WPILib

Simply move these files into your repository and place your code in a directory named src/.

Status: Operational! (Report bugs as Issues)

Start Here!

Instructions

1. Install system dependencies

2. Download the zip package (located in releases)

3. Add code to a new folder called src

4. (Windows only) Add the binaries folder to your System PATH

Dependencies

General:

• CMake

• FRC C++ Toolchain

Cygwin:

• cmake

• make

• unzip

• wget

• openssh

Windows:

• NMake (Visual Studio)

User guide

Linux/Cygwin

How to build code:

1. Make sure the code you want to compile is in src/ and the Makefile is in the directory above src/

2. Type make into the terminal

How to deploy code:

FIRST TIME ONLY

1. Type ssh-keygen -t rsa into the terminal

2. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/demo/.ssh/id_rsa): roborio

3. Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): [leave blank]

4. After the output, connect to the robot and type ssh-copy-id -i roborio lvuser@roborio-[TEAM]-frc.local. Be sure to replace [TEAM] with your number

5. Write your team number in the TEAM_NAME file. Make sure it is only one line and contains no extra spaces.

After this is done, simply type make deploy to deploy

Windows

How to build code:

1. Make sure the code you want to compile is in src/ and the Makefile are in the directory above src/

2. Type nmake /F Makefile.win into cmd

How to deploy code:

1. type nmake /F Makefile.win deploy
