Build Dependencies¶

In order to be able to build Replicant, you need to install some (free) software:

Required Packages¶

• python 2.x
• bison
• flex
• git
• gperf
• libncurses development headers
• make
• gcc, g++
• mksquashfs
• openjdk 6
• pngcrush
• wget
• zip
• zlib development headers
• lzma

Additional requirements for 64 bit computers¶

• 32 bit libncurses
• 32 bit libreadline
• 32 bit libc6 headers
• 32 bit zlib
• gcc, g++ multilib support

Command line installation¶

Trisquel/Debian/Ubuntu¶

Required Packages:

apt-get install  bison flex git-core gperf libncurses-dev build-essential squashfs-tools openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jdk pngcrush wget zip zlib1g-dev lzma

Additional requirements for 64 bit computers:

apt-get install libc6-dev-i386 gcc-multilib g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32ncurses5-dev 

On Debian sid, multi-arch i386 has to be enabled and the following is also required:

apt-get install zlib1g-dev:i386

• If the packages manager complains about lib32readline5-dev being missing, replace it with lib32readline-gplv2dev in the command line.
• If the /usr/lib/zconf.h header is missing, you will have to create a symlink there:
  

  sudo ln -s /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/zconf.h /usr/lib/zconf.h
  

• If you see errors about incompatible library versions, you may need some symlinks. For example:
  

  sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6.0.14 /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so
  sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libz.so.1.2.3.4 /usr/lib32/libz.so
  

Parabola/Arch¶

Add the following to /etc/pacman.conf (it should be safe for freedom since lukeshu is part of the parabola community and pcr is a parabola repository):

[pcr]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[~lukeshu]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Required Packages:

pacman -S core/bison core/flex extra/gperftools core/ncurses community/squashfs-tools pcr/openjdk6-old extra/wget extra/zip core/zlib core/xz ~lukeshu/pngcrush extra/gperf extra/bc

Additional requirements for 64 bit computers:
Uncomment or add the following repository in /etc/pacman.conf:

[multilib]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

pacman -S multilib/lib32-glibc multilib/gcc-multilib multilib/lib32-readline multilib/lib32-ncurses multilib/lib32-zlib
