Starling VIA

Oh yes, “packing” it’s called. That’s not what my error was about. I had two problems, like anyone else would have trying to build it:

  1. If you follow the build instructions it will fail, because git submodule update --init --recursive will fail, because they by mistake have an SSH link to the Via submodule, instead of the HTTPS link it should have been, which means the building only works on the developers’ machine because he has the SSH key.
  2. To get around that, you can then instead manually git clone https://github.com/starlingcode/Via. BUT that won’t build with the default master branch. Instead you need to git checkout the viatools-updates branch of that, I think it was Steve or Russel pointing that out, and THEN the whole thing builds :slight_smile:

I’m still on macOS 10.12 (Sierra) but an upgrade to Catalina is becoming more and more pressing because more and more things are leaving it behind.
