Compiling

Build machine

• 64 bit Linux (Manjaro tested)
• At least 16G RAM
• At least 250G free storage, preferably SSD based
• Use a POSIX compliant shell such as bash, not zsh (in Manjaro “chsh -s /bin/bash username”)

Manjaro packages

The following packages are needed (install with “sudo pacman -S packagename”):-

• make
• gcc
• python-pip
• dtc
• bison
• flex
• cpio
• unzip
• zip

Once this is done run

• pip install pyelftools
  • sudo isn’t needed

You will also need libncurses.so.5. The easiest way to install this appears to be using an Arch AUR package.

• Enable AUR
• pamac install ncurses5-compat-libs
  • don’t use sudo
