fork setup work to be done #16
Description
Here's a couple things off the top of my head. I'm certainly willing to help do some guidance on any but I have limited experience in some of these areas. Digging though the commits back to January 2015 in the related files folders will surly turn up related reference-able commits for the io.js days.
- Make
Vcbuild.batbuild/ayo.exe.- I think @refack is on this: [WIP] src,tools: output /ayo executable, related fork impl #10 (comment)
- Update the macOS installer to install
ayoand anodesymlink. - Update the Windows installer to install
ayo(and possibly anodesymlink.) - Possibly update key portions of the docs / meta-capitals-documents.
... more to be added

Any ideas on release infrastructure?
Fishrock123 commentedon Aug 24, 2017
@evanlucas probably target a much smaller array so as to make it somewhat feasible, e.g. macOS 64, Ubuntu Linux, Windows 64.
Not sure if it is possible to use travis for the first two, maybe?
addaleax commentedon Aug 24, 2017
It should be, yes. I just excluded macOS from the Travis matrix because our builds take a looong time and there are generally fewer VMs available – feel free to experiment, tho :)

Understandable, but I'd love to see more cross-platform support, not less :)
I've set up ayo on my personal buildbot cluster to make unofficial builds. Here you can grab one for FreeBSD/amd64!
OpenBSD currently fails with
../deps/v8/src/trap-handler/trap-handler.h:68:8: error: thread-local storage is not supported for the current target:(Fishrock123 commentedon Aug 26, 2017
Hmmm yeah, I do remember something about compiling on OpenBSD I think. You may want to ask that on the Node issue tracker for now if you are comfortable with doing so.
valpackett commentedon Aug 27, 2017
@mememaestro you might want to use a version manager like asdf to switch between different versions and forks of node, as well as other languages. (But honestly I haven't found that necessary anymore, I just use the latest and greatest all the time.)
Fishrock123 commentedon Aug 27, 2017
@mememaestro Not necessarily, the symlink could just be removed or there could be an option to not have it installed from the installer. I think io.js did the latter option too however I am very much not familiar with msi or pkg installer manifests.
