h1. Build Dependencies

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

h2. 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


h3. 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
