[Hamara-devel] Progress with the Calamares Installer

[Raju DV]

I finally managed to successfully build Calamares at last.

I followed the build instructions as given on calamares repo on github

https://github.com/calamares/calamares

but my distribution (Debian Jessie) was not having a lot of dependencies
available. So I built some dependency packages from source but still the
dependencies were not being met, specially some KDE components.

I found that some of the dependent packages are already available in
Debian Stretch. I did an upgrade with my distro to stretch and built it
again.
and managed to build calamares successfully.

the build logs are here http://paste.debian.net/304411/

and the output of make is here http://paste.debian.net/304413/

I have got an executable of Calamares now on my system.

When I execute it this is what I get.

http://paste.debian.net/304414/

So as stated in the line no.19 in the above paste,
I have to work on setting up these files within the sugam build.

/etc/calamares/settings.conf
/usr/local/share/calamares/settings.conf

any suggestions on getting these work are welcome.
Will keep you posted on the progress I make.
