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
