Build Hercules binaries in 202 seconds with hercules-helper - M235

Awesome video. With the help of Mr Lewis, I now have hercules running on my Chromebook.

Great!

Brilliant. I had an error installing hercules and before i fixed it i decided to see if moshix had a video. this worked perfectly on linux mint.

Glad it helped

Question: On you Linux devel build, why does it say Without Rexx OO and Without Regina Support? around 27:39

[@moshixmainframechannel]

Because I didn’t install Regina libraries. I don’t need it

[@justwanderin847]

I wonder if the hercules-helper will work on my Pop_OS (based on Ubuntu)? or may need.... note 20:42 linux traditional way.

[@moshixmainframechannel]

It will work no problem

I built, by hand, Hyperion Hercules 4.6 on an Arm-based T2A instance in Google Cloud Compute Engine. All through SSH, obviously. I got TK4- running great on it. I wonder if this process would work on it. They are free until March 2024 i think.

Cool

Hello moshix, thanks for the video - Hercules Helper defintily helps to setup Hercules. Unfortunatly (since you use in the video a mac enviroment but on intel...) for Apple Silicon user there are 2 obstacles which hinders to expricence the Hercules Simulator: 1. the Hercules Helper needs to be updated to work with the now defaultshell zsh - Bill is aware of that (i opened an issue) and 2. if you are using the "built in" hercules simulator within tk4 package the script does not work properly on Apple Silicon due to a missing tool (readelf, see start_herc) - which is frustrating if you are beginner as i am. Beside of that i have one suggetion for a following video: It's not right out of the box understandable how to include and start the tk4 enviroment once you setup Hercules. Can you therefore make another video which shows after having installed the Hercules trough Hercules Helper, how to integrate/manage the tk4 and other builds ? Thank you and thanks for your videos !

I have many videos that show how to start MVS and work with MVS. Browse thru the list of all videos and start somewhere. Thanks for writing
