# Building ngdevkit from source on Linux

## Pre-requisite

In order to build the devkit you need autoconf, autoconf-archive and

GNU Make 4.x, and various additional dependencies to build the

toolchain modules such as GCC and SDCC. The devkit tools uses Python 3

and PyGame 2. The emulator requires SDL 2 and optionally OpenGL

libraries.

The examples require ImageMagick for all the graphics

trickery and sox for audio conversion purpose.

For example, on Ubuntu Focal (20.04), you can install the dependencies with:

    apt-get install autoconf autoconf-archive automake gcc curl zip unzip

    apt-get install libsdl2-dev

    apt-get install python3-pygame

    apt-get install libreadline-dev

    GCC_VERSION_PKG=$(apt-cache depends gcc | awk '/Depends.*gcc/ {print $2}')

    # make sure you have src packages enabled for dependency information

    echo "deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal main restricted" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ngdevkit.list

    echo "deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal universe" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ngdevkit.list

    apt-get update

    # install build-dependency packages

    apt-get build-dep $GCC_VERSION_PKG

    apt-get build-dep --arch-only sdcc

    # optional: install GLEW for OpenGL+GLSL shaders in GnGeo

    apt-get install libglew-dev

    # dependencies for the example ROMs

    apt-get install imagemagick sox libsox-fmt-mp3

Debian users (for example Buster) would install the dependencies above

by updating the src packages URL as follows:

    echo "deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ngdevkit.list

    # the remaining dependencies are the same

## Building the toolchain

The devkit relies on autotools to check for dependencies and

autodetect the proper build flags. It is advised that you build

the entire devkit in a self-contained directory inside your

local git repository with:

    autoreconf -iv

    ./configure --prefix=$PWD/local

    make

    make install

Once the devkit is built, you then need to configure your environment

to add the built binaries to your `PATH`. You can do so automatically

with:

    eval $(make shellinit)

Congratulations! You are now ready to experiment with the devkit.

Please follow the [main README](README.md) for additional information

on how to download and build the example ROMs, run the emulator or

run the debugger.
