Black magic

I’m considering to move my personal cloud from OwnCloud to NextCloud. Then you read those build instructions.

Building on Linux

Run:

mkdir build-linux
cd build-linux
cmake -D OEM_THEME_DIR=`pwd`/../nextcloudtheme ../client
make
make install

Building on OSX

Attention: When building make sure to use an old Core 2 Duo build machine running OS X 10.10. Otherwise the resulting binary won’t work properly for users of an older device. Have at least 180 GB free disk space when compiling Qt. Make sure your user is named “builder”.

The building instructions for MacOsX are almost black magic. You must build it with user “builder”?

Really?

You must use an old machine otherwise the binaries won’t run on older devices? Are you serious?

That’s another set of reason why I will surely avoid Apple.

16. Smart Electric Motorbike

The Mavizen TTX02 was more than the first electric-powered racing bike to come on the scene. Keeping the electro-bike firmly up to speed was an on-board computer running Linux.
