Install OS

Download Void Linux live ISO image: - <> Start `qemu` to install from `ISO` image (tested with `QEMU emulator version 8.1.3`): <>

You should see the boot screen (choose the default/first option): ![img boot](img-boot.png "boot") followed by the login screen: ![img login](img-login.png "boot") Login as `root` with `voidlinux`, then start the installer program `void-installer`, then follow the installation instructions, this is the installer main menu: ![img installer](img-installer.png "installer") Options **Keyboard** and **Network** are straightforward. For **Source** I always choose **Local** and then update the system later using `xbps-install -Su` ![img source](img-source.png "source") Set **Mirror** according to the VM geographical location or use a global mirror: ![img mirror 1](img-mirror-1.png "mirror-1") ![img mirror 2](img-mirror-2.png "mirror-2") ![img mirror 3](img-mirror-3.png "mirror-3") ![img mirror 4](img-mirror-4.png "mirror-4") To select another choice of mirror after installation, simply call `xmirror` on a terminal. For **Hostname**, **Locale** and **Timezone** I leave them untouched, these are the default installer settings: <> <> TODO: timezone Options **RootPassword** and **UserAccount** are also straightforward. Option **BootLoader** is trivial, there is just one sensible option: ![img bootloader](img-bootloader.png "bootloader") Now start the most critical settings below, the **Partition** option: ![img partition 1](img-partition-1.png "partition 1") scroll... ![img partition 2](img-partition-2.png "partition 2") After following the instructions above for GPT and no UEFI, you should end up with a this configuration on `cfdisk`: ![img partition 3](img-partition-3.png "partition 3") Pay close attention to these steps: ![img partition 4](img-partition-4.png "partition 4") ![img partition 5](img-partition-5.png "partition 5") ![img partition 6](img-partition-6.png "partition 6") I normally do not use a `swap` partition, if the need arises, it is trivial to setup a swap file on the root partition: <> Now comes the filesystem setup, **XFS** is a fine choice: ![img filesystem 1](img-filesystem-1.png "file system 1") Mount it to the root directory: ![img filesystem 2](img-filesystem-2.png "file system 2") Format and done: ![img filesystem 3](img-filesystem-3.png "file system 3") Now just **Install**: ![img install 1](img-install-1.png "install 1") ![img install 2](img-install-2.png "install 2") After installation is complete, choose to not restart, exit installer and shutdown the VM with `shutdown -h now`. @ <>= xbps-install xtools lsof wget curl lynx zip perl rsync unzip xbps-install zsh mg nano vim tmux rlwrap colordiff groff time xbps-install patch make git gcc gdb automake autoconf libtool xbps-install xorg-minimal xorg-input-drivers xorg-video-drivers xbps-install setxkbmap xauth font-misc-misc terminus-font xbps-install dejavu-fonts-ttf xterm xrandr xset jwm vtwm xbps-install firefox geany ncurses ncurses-devel libXt-devel xbps-install motif-devel motif-mwm motif-xmbind xlsfonts xbps-install font-adobe-100dpi font-adobe-75dpi @ <<~/.xinitrc>>= setxkbmap us # faster keyboard repeat rate and smaller delay xset r rate 190 35 xsetroot -solid '#0f2023' # exec vtwm exec jwm @ <>= https://repo-default.voidlinux.org/live/current/void-live-i686-20230628-base.iso @ <>= https://common-lisp.net/project/cmucl/downloads/snapshots/2023/08/cmucl-2023-08-x86-linux.tar.bz2 @ <>= https://common-lisp.net/project/cmucl/downloads/snapshots/2023/08/cmucl-src-2023-08.tar.bz2 @ <>= cd ~ wget -cN '<>' (set -eux; mkdir -pv ~/cmucl-2023-08-x86-linux; cd cmucl-2023-08-x86-linux; tar -xjf ../cmucl-2023-08-x86-linux.tar.bz2) @ <>= cd ~ wget -cN '<>' (set -eux; mkdir -pv ~/cmucl-src-2023-08; cd cmucl-src-2023-08; tar -xjf ../cmucl-src-2023-08.tar.bz2) @ <>= cd ~/cmucl-src-2023-08 bin/build.sh -B boot-2021-07-2 -R -C x86_linux -o ~/cmucl-2023-08-x86-linux/bin/lisp bin/make-dist.sh -V 2023-08 -I dist linux-4 @ <>=

After installation of additional packages, you should end up with roughtly this disk usage: ![img disk usage](img-disk-usage.png "disk usage after initial packages install") `gcc` version available at the time of this writting (January 11, 2024): ![img after install 2](img-gcc-version.png "after initial packages install 2") <h2>Creating backing image</h2> chmod a-w "<<base image>>" <<create backed image>> <h2>Start system with backed image</h2> <<run qemu backed image>> <h2>Connect to guest from host</h2> In guest, connect to host and send local tcp port 22 as remote (-R) 2223: ssh -R2223:127.0.0.1:22 hostuser@10.0.2.2 'while date; do sleep 30; done' In host, connect to guest: TERM=screen ssh -p2223 void@127.0.0.1 `TERM` is important for `tmux` to properly work. <h2>Configure environment</h2> <h3>Install coolscripts</h3> Some instructions below only applies to `zsh`, adapt accordingly to your favorite shell. mkdir -p ~/Downloads git clone 'https://github.com/ctarbide/coolscripts.git' ~/Downloads/coolscripts PATH=${HOME}/Downloads/coolscripts/bin:${PATH} (set -eux; cd ~/Downloads/coolscripts/examples; nofake shell-tips.nw | sh) <h3>Other miscellaneous settings</h3> chsh -s /bin/zsh git config --global user.email "you@example.com" git config --global user.name "Your Name" git config --global init.defaultBranch master <h3>Setup a basic X11 graphical environment</h3> Create a `~/.xinitrc` file with these contents: <<~/.xinitrc>> After login: exec startx Hints: $ xrandr --output Virtual-1 --mode 1440x900 (qemu) sendkey ctrl-alt-f2 <h2>Build CMUCL</h2> <h3>Extract CMUCL binary</h3> <<download and extract cmucl>> <h3>Extract CMUCL sources</h3> <<download and extract sources>> <h3>Build</h3> <<build cmucl>> Build shouldn't take long: ![img build finished](img-build-finished.png "build finished") And should work fine: ![img it works](img-it-works.png "it works!") <h2>References</h2> <<references>> @ <<YEAR>>= 2024 @ <<STAMP>>= 2024-01-08_10h24m46 @ <<ITEM_ID>>= compiling_cmucl_2023-08_on_a_void-live-i686_vm @ <<PAGE DIR>>= pages/<<YEAR>>/<<STAMP>>_<<ITEM_ID>> @ <<URL PREFIX>>= <<assets - base url>><<PAGE DIR>> @ <<CANONICAL URL>>= <<URL PREFIX>>/index.html @ <<*>>= <<sh preamble>> if git-file-is-pristine.sh README.txt; then rm -f .draft else date '+%Y-%m-%d_%Hh%Mm%S' > .draft git reset --quiet -- index.html fi nofake --error -Rrender <<PRIMARY SOURCES>> | sh @ <<PRIMARY SOURCES>>= <<TOP>>/assets.nw README.txt @ <<TOP>>= ../../.. @ <<PAGES>>= ../.. @ <<TITLE>>= ctarbi.de - compiling cmucl 2023-08 on a void-live-i686 vm @ <<sh preamble>>= #!/bin/sh set -eu @ <<print LAST MODIFIED>>= if [ -f .draft ]; then last-modified.sh <<PRIMARY SOURCES>> | perl -MPOSIX=strftime \ -lne'print(strftime(qq{@<<LAST MODIFIED@>>=\n%B %e, %Y (DRAFT)\n@\n}, gmtime($_)))' else FORMAT='format:%s %B %e, %Y at %T UTC' git-last-modified.sh <<PRIMARY SOURCES>> | LC_ALL=C sort -nr | head -n1 | perl \ -lne's,^\d+ ,,; print(qq{@<<LAST MODIFIED@>>=\n${_}\n@\n})' fi @ <<set $t0>>= t0=`perl -MTime::HiRes=time -le'print(time)'` @ <<generated: $t1 - $t0>>= perl -MTime::HiRes=time -MPOSIX=strftime -le' $t1 = time; $t0 = $ARGV[0]; printf(qq{\n\n}, $t1 - $t0, strftime(q{%B %e, %Y at %T UTC}, gmtime)) ' -- "${t0}" @ <<create index.html from .index.html>>= cat .index.html > index.html <<generated: $t1 - $t0>> @>> index.html chmod 0444 index.html @ <<update (or not) index.html from .index.html>>= if [ -f index.html ]; then if [ .index.html -nt index.html ]; then rm -f index.html <<create index.html from .index.html>> else echo "index.html is up to date." fi else <<create index.html from .index.html>> fi @ <<generate>>= <<sh preamble>> <<print LAST MODIFIED>> cat <<PRIMARY SOURCES>> @ <<update (or not) .index.html from primary sources>>= nofake --error -Rgenerate <<PRIMARY SOURCES>> | sh | gzip > .cache ( gzip -dc .cache printf '@<<body>>=\n' gzip -dc .cache | nofake --error -R'body in markdown' | "<<TOP>>/bin/md-autoheader-autolink.pl" | <<assets - md.pl for pages>> printf '@\n' ) | CHMOD='chmod 0444' nofake.sh --error -Rindex.html -o.index.html @ <<render>>= <<sh preamble>> <<set $t0>> <<update (or not) .index.html from primary sources>> <<update (or not) index.html from .index.html>> @ <<index.html>>= <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <title><<TITLE>> <> <
