the build can be built reproducibly.
You can use this meta-data to easily list the required packages missing from your build system. First, go to the source tree of LinuxCNC and initiate its default self-configuration, if not already performed:
This will prepare the file debian/control that contains lists of Debian packages to create with the runtime dependencies for those packages and for our cause also the build-dependencies for those to-be-created packages.
The most straightforward way to get all build-dependencies installed is to just execute (from the same directory):
sudo apt-get build-dep .
which will install all the dependencies required but available. The '.' is part of the command line, i.e. an instruction to retrieve the dependencies for the source tree at hand, not for dependencies of another package. This completes the installation of build-dependencies.
The remainder of this section describes a semi-manual approach. The list of dependencies in debian/control is long and it is tedious to compare the current state of packages already installed with it. Debian systems provide a program called `dpkg-checkbuilddeps` that parses the package meta-data and compares the packages listed as build dependencies against the list of installed packages, and tells you what's missing.
First, install the `dpkg-checkbuilddeps` program by running:
Finally ask `dpkg-checkbuilddeps` to do its job (note that it needs to run from the `linuxcnc-dev` directory, *not* from `linuxcnc-dev/debian`):
$ dpkg-checkbuilddeps
It will emit a list of packages that are required to build LinuxCNC on your system, but that are not installed yet. Install them all with `sudo apt-get install`, followed by the package names.
