ArchMaker

Quickly and easily create your own arch-based GNU/Linux-distribution.

ArchMaker is a program that generates scripts which then can generate an iso-file of your own distribution.

You just have to select the programs you want to install, an /etc/skel-folder, enter some information and select a slideshow. It uses archiso to generate the ISO-file and Calamares as the installer.

Dependencies

• Arch Linux (64 bit) - base-devel
• git
• QT5
• archiso (runtime)
• xterm (runtime)

Installation

Building

To get the dependencies:

sudo pacman -S base-devel git qt5-base archiso xterm

Now you need to clone the Github-Repository:

git clone https://github.com/guidedlinux/archmaker.git && cd archmaker

After that you can compile ArchMaker:

mkdir build && cd build
qmake ..
make
sudo make install

This will install the .desktop file into /usr/share/applications/

From the AUR (outdated)

To build the package from the AUR, it is recommended to use an AUR-Helper (e.g. yaourt, pacaur). Then you can run:

yaourt -S archmaker

or

pacaur -S archmaker

Sharing your distro

When you have generated your iso, you can upload it (anywhere) and share the link at the gallery.

calamares fails to build

calamares fails to build from your fork. I can build ok from calamares directly. This is the error:

there should be liveuser option

i belive this is the one of core part of the archiso where people put there dreams !

Calamares issues

Hello!
I archmaker does not collect distributive, calamares produces an error and because of this, the distributive package is not going to. Help to fix the error.
