How to add andare in a custom build for planck?

[abhi18av]

Hi @mfikes, I was wondering whether it's possible to add other ClojureScript libraries like andare within a build and then have a version of planck with which all of these other libs could be used easily?

At a glance, I think that the project.clj and the bundle.cljs files would need to be updated for the adding andare - would this be correct?

[mfikes]

@abhi18av Instead of project.clj, you'd need to update the deps.edn file at https://github.com/planck-repl/planck/blob/master/planck-cljs/deps.edn.

You'd need to update bundle.cljs for runtime namespaces, and also add lines to copy any macros files as in this https://github.com/planck-repl/planck/blob/master/planck-cljs/script/build.clj#L69

This would ultimately result in Andare being bundled in the Planck binary.

You could go further by AOT compiling the macros files and including the generated JavaScript, etc. See here https://github.com/planck-repl/planck/blob/master/script/build#L110 and the subsequent lines.

@abhi18av Another idea is to take a look at how Replete is built. It does bundle Andare.

Thanks @mfikes , let me try this out on a normal x86_64 machine first and then I'd move on to the ARM64 builds..

Just for the paper trail, here seems to be the relevant link in the replete repo
https://github.com/replete-repl/replete-android/blob/d27d54ef7854227582b0a416aa75c2fd6d8e6d7a/ClojureScript/replete/script/build#L48

Here's the fork/branch which I'm working on
https://github.com/abhi18av/planck/tree/abhi18av-with-andare

And here are the files which I've updated so far
abhi18av@37562e9

Next, I'll try and build this on the x86_64 machine.

I have built this previously and it worked fine but now, it seems there has been an error with the CMake config somewhere

[mfikes]

@abhi18av it looks like your build can't find libcurl

[abhi18av]

Yes @mfikes , you're right and I resolved that by using apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev still there seems to be an error here

I've made sure to run the ./script/clean before restarting the build. However, no worries for now I'll just build it locally as it does build fine on my laptop.

@mfikes , could you please confirm the changed files #957 (comment), whenever your have the opportunity?

[mfikes]

@abhi18av I suspect you don't have pkg-config. See https://github.com/planck-repl/planck/wiki/Building

With respect to your changes, you typically want to make sure that all *.cljs files end up being included as a result of files in bundle.cljs and the copy-file operations only need to include files that won't be included this way (things like .clj macros files).

[abhi18av]

I understand @mfikes , thanks 👍

Let me try this out and get back to you.
