Debian Wheezy Build Machine

If you're trying to build OpenXT on Debian Wheezy you'll need to install ...

Packages

guilt iasl quilt bin86 bcc libncurses5-dev libsdl1.2-dev liburi-perl genisoimage

The Wheezy ghc won't work with our Haskell bits so we need to install the 6.12 binaries from haskell.org. These require a few packages unavailable in Wheezy so we need to manually download and install them from the Squeeze repos. You can get the two needed packages here:

https://packages.debian.org/eo/squeeze/i386/libgmpxx4ldbl/download

https://packages.debian.org/eo/squeeze/i386/libgmp3-dev/download

Select the mirror closest to you and save the deb files on your system. Install them with dpkg:

sudo dpkg -i libgmpxx4ldbl_4.3.2+dfsg-1_i386.deb libgmp3-dev_4.3.2+dfsg-1_i386.deb

Haskell compiler

Then download and install the i386 GHC 6.12.3 binary distribution from haskell.org:

cd /tmp
wget http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.12.3/ghc-6.12.3-i386-unknown-linux-n.tar.bz2
tar jxf ghc-6.12.3-i386-unknown-linux-n.tar.bz2
cd ghc-6.12.3
./configure --prefix=/usr
sudo make install
