Add "configure script" (WIP)

Open petabyt opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

  • Python script that checks system dependencies
  • Helps avoid random bugs, avoids mysterious errors
  • rst2html, pip2, python2, arm gcc correct version, bash, host gcc
  • Spews a lot of garbage output in console currently

Any suggestions welcome, I hardly understand the ML build system.

Configure scripts in Python seem to be common: https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/blob/master/configure.py

Updated, still doesn't test modules. Don't think it's a big deal though, it's mostly standard library packages right?

This has stalled I think, and the build system has changed significantly since then, anyway - no longer needs python2.
