Development Ubuntu

This developer setup is based on Vagrant. I use it on Windows with Virtualbox.

It uses the Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) base box from bento. The official ubuntu box fails to run properly with Vagrant.

Provisioning

Install Desktop

• vagrant up
• vagrant ssh
• sudo -i
• apt update && apt upgrade -yy - update the system
• apt install ubuntu-desktop -yy - install desktop
• passwd vagrant - set a password for vagrant user

You should now see the desktop and be able to login

Bone Keyboard Layout

• wget https://wiki.neo-layout.org/raw-attachment/wiki/Bone2/xkb.tar.gz
• cd /usr/share/X11/
• sudo tar -xzf ~vagrant/xkb.tar.gz
• add setxkbmap de bone as autostart (type autostart in search)

Install Virtualbox Guest additions

• vagrant halt - power down machine
• open Virtualbox frontend add CD-ROM storage
• hit OK
• vagrant up
• from menu select Devices - Insert Guest Additions
• make sure that the kernel modules are compiled
• vagrant halt - power down machine
• vagrant up - start with new kernel modules

The 3D acceleration and clipboard synchronization should now work properly.

Install Clang 5.0

• wget -O - http://apt.llvm.org/llvm-snapshot.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
• apt-add-repository "deb http://apt.llvm.org/xenial/ llvm-toolchain-xenial-5.0 main"
• apt update
• apt install clang-5.0 clang-format-5.0 lldb-5.0 lld-5.0 libclang-5.0-dev subversion cmake -y

Install Clang 6.0 (dev)

• apt-add-repository "deb http://apt.llvm.org/xenial/ llvm-toolchain-xenial main"
