We require several tools to build the software, including:
- Make
- Automake (use 1.11.3 or later)
- Autoconf
- Libtool
- Texinfo
- help2man
- Tar
- Gzip
- bison
- Texlive & epsf (for PDF manual)
- GTK-DOC (for API manual)
- Git
- libabigail (for abi comparison in make dist)
- Valgrind (optional)
The required software is typically distributed with your operating system, and the instructions for installing them differ. Here are some hints:
Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install make git autoconf automake libtool bison
sudo apt-get install texinfo help2man gtk-doc-tools valgrind abigail-tools
PDF manual - Debian <= stretch:
sudo apt-get install texlive-generic-recommended texlive texlive-extra-utils
PDF manual - Debian >= buster:
sudo apt-get install texlive-plain-generic texlive texlive-extra-utils
The next step is to run autoreconf, ./configure, etc:
$ ./bootstrap
Then build the project normally:
$ ./configure
$ make check
Happy hacking!
