Is there any recommended environment for building a development version?

[erjiaxiao]

Hello! I follow the instructions in https://github.com/cctbx/cctbx_project to build a development version. But there are some errors that occur when I run the command python bootstrap.py --use-conda. I try it on Windows 11, WSL Ubuntu18, and WSL Ubuntu20. I wonder if there is any docker environment in which we can build a development version smoothly?

Can you provide the output from your bootstrap.py command?

Hello @bkpoon, I use wsl2 Ubuntu22.04 on windows11. Here is the error output when I run python bootstrap.py --use-conda:

Can you delete the 3DED/modules/boost and 3DED/build directories then run

python bootstrap.py **build** --use-conda

This will skip the steps that update the sources (which will try to download Boost again) and only try building. The included Boost sources are only intended for earlier Linux distributions.

@bkpoon Thank you! I successfully build the development version.
