13: #Software requirements
14:
15: Before you can use pkgsrc, you may need a few packages installed on your Linux system upfront.
16:
17: * gcc (and libstdc++)
18: * libncurses-devel
19: * zlib and zlib-devel
20: * openssl-devel (optional but required for some packages)
21: * libudev-dev (optional but required for some packages)
22:
23: The names may vary, depending on what Linux distribution you are using. Also be mindful of the platform you are using (eg. i686 vs. x86_64 - some have different pre-required packages). Also note that some very basic tools such as file, patch, sed, and others are required, as well.

25: #Troubleshooting bootstrap
26: ##Shell's echo command is not BSD-compatible
27:
28: If you see this error
29:
30: ERROR: Your shell's echo command is not BSD-compatible.
31:
32: This error is known to occur if /bin/sh is linked to /bin/dash (recent Ubuntu versions).
33:
34: The fix is to issue the following before commencing bootstrap: export SH=/bin/bash
35: ##ARG_MAX undeclared
36:
37: If bootstrap stops at
38:
39: In file included from glob.c:12:
40: __glob13.c: In function globextend:
41: __glob13.c:836: error: ARG_MAX undeclared (first use in this function)
42:
43: Then apply this patch [1](http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-bugs/2008/06/21/msg026977.html)
44: ##FORTIFY_SOURCE
45:
46: If bootstrap stops at
47:
48: /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/bmake/arch.c: In function 'Arch_Touch':
49: /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/bmake/arch.c:1038: warning: ignoring return
50: value of 'fwrite', declared with attribute warn_unused_result
51: *** Error code 1
52:
53: This error occurs because Linux uses -DFORTIFY_SOURCES by default. Bootstrap can be achieved by:
54:
55: CFLAGS="-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE" ./bootstrap
56:
57: ##libncurses not installed
58:
59: If bootstrap stops at
60:
61: ERROR: This package has set PKG_FAIL_REASON:
62: ERROR: No usable termcap library found on the system.
63:
64: Then install the libncurses-dev package
65:
66: On an RPM based system this might be via 'yum install ncurses-devel', and on a Debian/Ubuntu system 'apt-get install libncurses5-dev'
