ReactOS Build Environment
|
|
Version 2.1 for Unix-based operating systems
|
|
Base package and i386 build tools
|
|
by Pierre Schweitzer (pierre@reactos.org)
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
-------------
|
|
The ReactOS Build Environment ("RosBE") is a Build Environment for building
|
|
ReactOS. This version is targeted at Unix-based operating systems such as
|
|
Linux or FreeBSD.
|
|
The Installation process of the Build Environment is divided into two parts.
|
|
First a script builds the needed compiler tools for your operating system
|
|
and installs them. Therefore the "gcc" compiler for your system and some
|
|
other build tools have to be installed.
|
|
Then another script creates a shortcut for you. This shortcut opens a
|
|
Terminal window and prepares all environment settings for building ReactOS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Needed Applications
|
|
--------------------
|
|
Make sure that the following applications are installed on your system.
|
|
They are needed to build the compiler tools. The "RosBE-Builder.sh" script
|
|
automatically checks for them:
|
|
|
|
* GNU Bash
|
|
The executable file and the package name are often called "bash".
|
|
All scripts are designed to work only under the Bash shell. Please also
|
|
make sure that the file "/bin/bash" exists. For example FreeBSD usually
|
|
installs Bash into another directory, so you have to create a symbolic
|
|
link "/bin/bash" to the executable file.
|
|
|
|
* GNU Bison
|
|
The executable file and the package name are often called "bison".
|
|
|
|
* Flex
|
|
The executable file and the package name are often called "flex".
|
|
|
|
* GNU GCC
|
|
You need a GCC compiler, which is suitable for your system. The
|
|
executable file and the package name are often called "gcc".
|
|
Your GCC compiler needs to be able to compile both C and C++ sources.
|
|
Therefore the "g++" module also has to be installed.
|
|
The compiler needs to be in version 3.4 or later.
|
|
|
|
* Grep
|
|
The executable file and the package name are often called "grep".
|
|
|
|
* GNU Make
|
|
Make sure that you have the GNU version of "make" installed. For example
|
|
FreeBSD uses another version. The executable file and the package name
|
|
are often called "make" or "gmake".
|
|
|
|
* GNU Makeinfo
|
|
The executable file is often called "makeinfo". Usually this file is in a
|
|
package called "texinfo".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Preparing the installation
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
Under some operating systems, you need to perform additional steps before
|
|
you can install the Build Environment. This section lists them.
|
|
|
|
* FreeBSD
|
|
- You have to create a symbolic link "/bin/bash", because FreeBSD
|
|
installs Bash to "/usr/local/bin/bash". Simply execute the following
|
|
command for doing this:
|
|
|
|
ln -s /usr/local/bin/bash /bin/bash
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
-------------
|
|
The Installation of RosBE is very simple, since there are scripts, which do
|
|
most of the work for you. Follow these steps to compile and install RosBE for
|
|
your used operating system:
|
|
|
|
1. Open a Terminal window and type "su" to become "root" user.
|
|
NOTE: Becoming a root user is only required for installing RosBE into the
|
|
default directory ("/usr/local/RosBE"). If you want to install it into a
|
|
personal directory, you don't need superuser privileges.
|
|
2. Call the "RosBE-Builder.sh" script in the directory of the unpacked
|
|
RosBE files.
|
|
NOTE: Advanced users can make use of CFLAGS, CC, CXX variables to modulate
|
|
the way tools will be built.
|
|
3. Follow the directions on the screen until the script ends with "Finished
|
|
successfully!"
|
|
4. Type "exit" to switch back to your normal user account. Then call the
|
|
"createshortcut.sh" script in the installation directory (usually this
|
|
is "/usr/local/RosBE").
|
|
5. Follow the directions on the screen to create a shortcut for the Build
|
|
Environment.
|
|
|
|
After that you can easily open a Build Environment for ReactOS by opening
|
|
the shortcut.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Uninstallation
|
|
---------------
|
|
If you want to uninstall RosBE, just delete the entire installation directory
|
|
and any shortcuts you have created.
|
|
|

Tested Operating Systems
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
The Build Environment was designed to work on all Unix-based operating
|
|
systems. Nevertheless, it is impossible to test it on all possible systems out
|
|
there.
|
|
The current primary development and test system is Ubuntu 12.04. But users
|
|
also reported that it works well under other Linux systems such as Fedora or
|
|
openSUSE and Unix derivates like FreeBSD or Mac OS X.
|
|
You should be able to compile the build tools on both i386 (32-bit) and
|
|
x86_64 (64-bit) systems.

Special thanks to ROSFan, who created the nice ReactOS Build Environment
|
|
Logo.
|
|
Special thanks also goes out to all those who provide so much help by
|
|
testing out new versions, you know who you are. Without them the RosBE
|
|
would not be what it is.

|
|
Environment v0.2-3.4.4.
