v1.188: switching compilers from gcc to clang

jksjks
edited May 2018 in KiwiSDR Discussion
Today's update switches compilers from gcc to clang. This means in the future update builds will run about twice as fast.

But today's build will take some time as the new compiler is downloaded and installed. Total update/build time will be approximately 15 minutes.
It is extremely important that you do not interrupt this process and potentially leave your Kiwi in a partially updated state unable to run or update further (i.e. "bricked").

    This is the clip from the log.

    Any idea? It says no Internet access, but I am sure I have it as users have been logging on.

    Hi Steve. So this turns out to be a compatibility problem between clang and the antenna switch extension. I thought I had checked this but I see now why my check was in error. Anyway, I fixed your Kiwi manually and will develop an update to fix it for everyone else. Thanks for the report.
