Mandatory packages
- you can use the following commands (one at a time) to get them (assuming your userid is allowed to use sudo (execution of commands as root)):
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential gcc g++ autoconf automake libtool bison flex gettext sudo apt-get install -y patch subversion texinfo wget git-core sudo apt-get install -y libncurses5 libncurses5-dev sudo apt-get install -y zlib1g-dev liblzo2-2 liblzo2-dev sudo apt-get install -y libacl1 libacl1-dev gawk cvs curl lzma sudo apt-get install -y uuid-dev mercurial

Warning: For recent Ubuntu and Debian based systems, the following is now required if your /bin/sh is not pointing to /bin/bash:
$ ls -al /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-12-08 18:33 /bin/sh -> dash
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
and select no

- if your distribution is localized in a language different of English, you will need to install "en_US" locale in order to compile the toolchain (by default our toolchain (uClibc) is configured to only support English). If not, you will get compilation errors like this one:
... extra/locale/locale_mmap.h:46: error: '__LOCALE_DATA_WCctype_II_LEN' undeclared here (not in a function) ...
To solve this, install en_US.UTF-8 locale with the following:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
Optional packages
Not mandatory but useful to add for compiling some Buildroot packages:
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev sudo apt-get install libnetpbm10-dev (for fbtest) sudo apt-get install python-xcbgen (for Matchbox)
Java devt
Ubuntu
- To compile java jamvm and gnu-classpath:
sudo apt-get install gcj-jdk
Debian
To compile java jamvm and gnu-classpath:
sudo apt-get install java-gcj-compat-dev default-jdk
