System Prerequisites¶

Debian/Ubuntu¶

Prior to begin with the project, ensure that a decent toolchain is installed on your system :

apt-get install build-essential m4 libtool pkg-config autoconf gettext bzip2 groff man-db automake libsigc++-2.0-dev tcl8.4 git
# or on recent versions
apt-get install build-essential m4 libtool pkg-config autoconf gettext bzip2 groff man-db automake libsigc++-2.0-dev tcl8.5 git

FreeBSD¶

• git

• gmake

• gsed

  cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portinstall
  make install clean
  for i in git gsed gmake autotools autoconf git;do portinstall $i;done
  

Gentoo¶

emerge git

Suze¶

Prior to begin with the project, ensure those dependencies are installed on your system:

• toolchain (gcc, autotools, m4)
• git

Centos¶

Prior to begin with the project, ensure those dependencies are installed on your system:

This one liner can help you

yum install automake autoconf libtool wget gcc-c++ patch gettext kernel-headers git

You may have problem to build glib2, because centos ships old kernel headers

mv /usr/include/linux /usr/include/linux.old
ln -s /usr/src/kernels/[YOURKERNEL]/include/linux /usr/include/linux

Fedora¶

Prior to begin with the project, ensure those dependencies are installed on your system:

This one liner can help you

yum install automake autoconf libtool wget gcc-c++ patch gettext kernel-headers git

MacOS X¶

Normally, you just need a copy of the XCode and git and you are ready to dance.
