Build Dependencies¶

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

Required Packages¶

• python 2.5-2.7
• bison
• flex
• git (git-core)
• gperf
• libncurses development headers (libncurses-dev)
• make (build-essential)
• mksquashfs (squashfs-tools)
• openjdk 6
• pngcrush - the build process will complain if it is not installed but builds will complete.
• wget (or curl)
• zip
• zlib development headers (zlib1g-dev)
• lzma

Additional requirements for amd64¶

• libc6-dev-i386
• gcc-multilib
• g++-multilib
• lib32z1-dev
• lib32readline5-dev
• lib32ncurses5-dev
• 32-bit compatibility libraries
• 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

Command line installation¶

Trisquel/Ubuntu/Debian¶

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 amd64:

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

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

Additional requirements for amd64:
Uncomment or add the following repository in /etc/pacman.conf:

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