malt-web view

[aulwes]

Is it possible to build just malt-webview for Mac OS?

It should be, the new malt-webview server is c++ but only relies libraries which should be ported. In principle I just have to add an option to disable the build of the instrumentation.

I will give a look for a next release.

The libs are :

• nlohmann-json
• cpp-httplib

And both are ported (also embedded in MALT so you might not have to build by hand).

How do I build malt-webview only for Mac OS and not build anything else?

Hi Rob,

If you use the next branch, you can get the webview alone :

cmake .. -DENABLE_PROFILER=no

In theory you need only cmake and g++ which might make your life simpler on MacOSX.

As there is not yet the official release archive available you either :

1. Need to have NodeJS and NPM on your mac to build the web code.
2. Generate the official archive with pre-built web code from the repo somewhere else and use the archive.

To generate the official archive :

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r dev/requirements.txt
pip install -r doc/requirements.txt
./dev/dev.py ar

You can try with the 1.5.0 as it is released so you have the tarball with everything in.

I took the time to check if the webview server is building on ARM it looks OK.

../configure --prefix={YOUR_PREFIX} --disable-profiler

Great, thanks Sebastien!! I'll try v1.5.0.
