Making DCP-O-Matic Package Locally

[rahmani]

Hi Carl,

The server is reachable (ping and HTTPS both work), but Git operations fail here is the results (the same as before):

rahmani@Rahmani:~$ git clone https://git.carlh.net/git/cdist.git

Would it be possible to provide either: a GitHub/GitLab mirror, or a ZIP/tarball of the cdist repository?

Thanks

Strange, it works for me. Sometimes that server gets overwhelmed with AI/bot traffic.

Anyway it's mirrored on github: https://github.com/cth103/cdist.git

Hi Carl,

I downloaded the GitHub repository you suggested:
https://github.com/cth103/cdist.git but, the downloaded project is the generic "cdist" configuration management tool. Running it gives commands such as:
banner
config
install
inventory
shell
scan

It does not accept the DCP-o-matic build options like:

cdist -p dcpomatic -c main -t windows-64 ...

Could you please send me the correct GitHub repository (or branch) for the DCP-o-matic build tool?

Thank you very much

[carl]

It sounds like you are running a totally different tool, also called cdist: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xe ... ist.1.html

Unless you need it I would suggest you uninstall it. Then the correct cdist should be run.

Alternatively, you could specify the path to the correct cdist, e.g.

/where/I/cloned/cdist -p dcpomatic ...

Hi Carl,

I have now got cdist running correctly. Docker is working, WSL integration is enabled, and I can run `docker ps` without sudo.
However, when I run:
cdist -p dcpomatic -c main -t windows-64 -k -w /home/rahmani/build build
I get:
Unable to find image 'windows:latest' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: pull access denied for windows, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login'

Should the `windows` Docker image already exists? If so, how should I build or obtain it before running cdist?

Thank you for your help
