Building From Source

Building From Source

This wiki page describes how to build the project from source code.

Retrieving the Source Code

The source code for the project may be checked out using Subversion. The following command line should work on most "unix"-like operating systems:

% svn checkout http://elftoolchain.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/elftoolchain/trunk

Build Notes

Generic notes about the build process:

The project's Makefiles are written in a portable subset of the BSD make language.
A C compilation tool chain is needed.
The test suites use the TET test toolkit.
The build of the [libelf] test suite requires Python and Py-YAML.
The [libdwarf] test suite requires the Expat toolkit.
Documentation builds require LaTeX and the PGF graphics package.

Building On Supported Operating Systems

current development
Please see the file trunk/INSTALL for build instructions.

Release 0.6.1
Please see the file INSTALL in the released sources.

Release 0.5.1
Please see the file INSTALL in the released sources.

Building On Unsupported Operating Systems

The following community-contributed instructions describe the process of building the source tree on operating systems that are not directly supported by the build rules in the source tree.
