Compile from source in Ubuntu 18.04

[denkoviaeltd]

Hello Domoticz Community,
I am having strange problem with making/applying changes of the Domoticz source code. I am able to compile the code. I am able even to change some web server files like hardware.js and hardware.html and i can see the changes are applied after browser refresh. However if i make some changes to lets say DenkoviDevices.cpp or DenkoviDevices.h, these changes are not applied anyway (even if I restart domoticz or even the whole OS).

I am following this link for the setup: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Build_Dom ... rom_source
I have the following setup:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04 (clean install on virtual machine vmware)
Cmake: 3.17.0
Folder home/ubuntu/domoitcz is the folder with downloaded official domoitcz
Folder home/ubuntu/dev-domoticz is the folder with compiled source code

I get the source via:

Code: Select all

cd dev-domoticz 
git pull (for first time only)

For editing the source i am using visual studio, as suggested in this link: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/How_to_se ... n_Domoticz
and save all.

After that, i use the command to compile:

Code: Select all

cd dev-domoticz
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release CMakeLists.txt -DUSE_OPENSSL_STATIC="NO" 
make

and run via:

Code: Select all

cd domoticz sudo ./domoticz

Am i missing something ?
Do I need to transfer some files/folders from dev-domoticz to domoticz dir and if so which ?

Thank you in advance!

Look which ‘domoticz’ binary is being build.

The one in the root of your tree or the one in the bin directory below root?

Got me confused once..

Tip: throw away all (both) binaries so you see where the build is done.

Thanks, that solved the problem!
It was that the domoticz file inside bin folder should be moved to the dev-domoticz folder and then we work/test with this file!
Cheers!
