Supported Platforms

Currently the only supported platform is Ubuntu 12.04. We have tested and confirmed that x32 and x64 Ubuntu Desktop and Server successfully build WOCE. Other platforms may work but are not supported.

Installation on Ubuntu

Prerequisites

Your Ubuntu installation will need the following installed. If you do not have them, run the command after the package name. You can test if they are found by just typing the command name. If it says command not found, you need to install it.

git sudo apt-get install git-core
gcc sudo apt-get install build-essential
curl sudo apt-get install curl
unzip sudo apt-get install unzip
7zip * sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
autoconf sudo apt-get install autoconf
subversion sudo apt-get install subversion
libtool sudo apt-get install libtool
wget sudo apt-get install wget
pkg-config sudo apt-get install pkg-config
gettext sudo apt-get install gettext
fakeroot sudo apt-get install fakeroot
javac * sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk (if this command line does not work, then do : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk )
ant sudo apt-get install ant
cmake sudo apt-get install cmake
xsltproc sudo apt-get install xsltproc
intltool sudo apt-get install intltool
mkimage sudo apt-get install uboot-mkimage
lsdiff sudo apt-get install patchutils

automake 1.10 sudo apt-get install automake1.10
autopoint sudo apt-get install autopoint
xutils-dev sudo apt-get install xutils-dev

If you're uncertain at all, and you're using Ubuntu 12.04, just cut and paste the following. If they are already installed, they'll be skipped.

sudo apt-get install git-core build-essential curl unzip p7zip-full autoconf subversion libtool wget pkg-config gettext fakeroot ant xsltproc intltool uboot-mkimage patchutils flex bison libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev help2man texinfo automake1.10 autopoint xutils-dev cmake

Note: If you are a beginner with Ubuntu Linux Distribution, you should update all the packages on your system to avoid problems when you will compile.

If you're on a 64-bit system, you will also need to install the ia32-libs package.


Start setup

  • Create a WOCE directory, we recommend you place it in your home directory.
  • Clone down the woce-build repo from github. [ git://www.github.com/woce/seecretfornow | git://www.github.com/woce/seecretfornow ]
  • Start the build. this is as simple as cd'ing into the woce-build directory and ruuning make or if you have multiple cores make -j<number of cores here>
  • When the build finishes the binary's will be under the packages folder in their appropriate directories

Your Done!
