The following packages should be installed before GNU poke is installed
(runtime dependencies that are also build dependencies):
* Boehm GC
+ Mandatory.
Poke uses the Boehm conservative garbage collector for managing the
memory of some of its subsystems.
On most platforms, any 8.x version is sufficient. On Cygwin, version
8.2.2 or newer is needed.
+ Homepage:
https://www.hboehm.info/gc/
+ Download:
https://www.hboehm.info/gc/gc_source/
+ Pre-built package name:
- On Debian and Debian-based systems: libgc-dev,
- On Red Hat distributions: gc-devel.
- Other: https://repology.org/project/boehm-gc/versions
+ Note that if you have the Boehm GC installed in a prefix different
from the one that contains pkg-config, you either need to set
PKG_CONFIG_PATH so that pkg-config finds it:
$ test -z "$PKG_CONFIG_PATH" \
|| PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${INSTALL_PREFIX_OF_PKGCONFIG}/lib/pkgconfig
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${INSTALL_PREFIX_OF_LIBGC}/lib/pkgconfig:${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}
or set the variables BDW_GC_CFLAGS, BDW_GC_LIBS when invoking 'configure'.
Which one to use, depends how the Boehm GC is installed:
- If it is installed as a binary package from the vendor, you usually
don't need to set any variable.
Except on Solaris 11, where you have to set BDW_GC_LIBS="-lbgc".
- If it is installed as a binary package in /usr/local, such as e.g. on
FreeBSD, set
BDW_GC_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" BDW_GC_LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -lgc"
- If it is installed from source with the same --prefix as you are using
for GNU poke, set
BDW_GC_LIBS="-lgc"
- If it is installed from source with a different --prefix, set
PKG_CONFIG_PATH as shown above.
* GNU readline
+ Mandatory.
Poke uses GNU libreadline in order to provide a nice line editor in
the '(poke)' prompt. Any recent version will suffice. But the readline-
imitating wrapper around the BSD 'editline' library will not be sufficient.
+ Homepage:
https://www.gnu.org/software/readline/
+ Download:
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/
+ Pre-built package name:
- On Debian and Debian-based systems: libreadline-dev,
- On Red Hat distributions: readline-devel.
- Other: https://repology.org/project/readline/versions
+ If it is installed in a nonstandard directory, pass the option
--with-libreadline-prefix=DIR to 'configure'.
* GNU libtextstyle
+ Optional.
GNU poke uses libtextstyle in order to provide styled output. If the
library is not found, then a dummy version of it from gnulib is used
instead... that does not do any styling!
+ Homepage:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/libtextstyle/manual/index.html
+ Download:
At the moment libtextstyle lives in a subdirectory of GNU gettext.
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/
+ Pre-built package name:
- On Debian and Debian-based systems: gettext (>= 0.21, in unstable),
- On Red Hat distributions: --.
- Other: https://repology.org/project/libtextstyle/versions
+ If it is installed in a nonstandard directory, pass the option
--with-libtextstyle-prefix=DIR to 'configure'.
* libnbd
+ Optional.
GNU poke optionally uses libnbd to expose an io space for data served
by an arbitrary NBD (Network Block Device) server. Testing this
further requires nbdkit to quickly provide an arbitrary NBD server.
+ Homepage:
http://libguestfs.org/libnbd.3.html
+ Download:
https://download.libguestfs.org/libnbd/
+ Pre-built package name:
- On Debian and Debian-based systems: libnbd-dev,
- On Red Hat distributions: libnbd-devel, nbdkit-basic-plugins.
- Other: https://repology.org/project/libnbd/versions
+ If it is installed in a nonstandard directory, you need to set
PKG_CONFIG_PATH so that pkg-config finds it:
$ test -z "$PKG_CONFIG_PATH" \
|| PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${INSTALL_PREFIX_OF_PKGCONFIG}/lib/pkgconfig
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${INSTALL_PREFIX_OF_LIBNBD}/lib/pkgconfig:${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}
or set the variables LIBNBD_CFLAGS, LIBNBD_LIBS when invoking 'configure'.
The following should be installed when GNU poke is built, but are not
needed later, once it is installed (build dependencies, but not runtime
dependencies):
* A C runtime, compiler, linker, etc.
+ Mandatory.
Either the platform's native 'cc', or GCC 3.1 or newer.
Note: On Solaris 10, cc is too old; use GCC instead.
+ GCC Homepage:
https://gcc.gnu.org/
+ Download:
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/
* A 'make' utility.
+ Mandatory.
Either the platform's native 'make' (for in-tree builds only),
or GNU Make 3.79.1 or newer.
+ GNU Make Homepage:
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/
+ Download:
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/
* A shell
+ Mandatory.
Either the platform's native 'sh', or Bash.
+ Homepage:
https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/
+ Download:
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/
* Core POSIX utilities, including:
[ basename cat chgrp chmod chown cp dd echo expand expr
false hostname install kill ln ls md5sum mkdir mkfifo
mknod mv printenv pwd rm rmdir sleep sort tee test touch
true uname
+ Mandatory.
Either the platform's native utilities, or GNU coreutils.
+ Homepage:
https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/
+ Download:
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/
* The comparison utilities 'cmp' and 'diff'.
+ Mandatory.
Either the platform's native utilities, or GNU diffutils.
+ Homepage:
https://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/
+ Download:
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/diffutils/
* Grep.
+ Mandatory.
Either the platform's native grep, or GNU grep.
+ Homepage:
https://www.gnu.org/software/grep/
+ Download:
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/
* Awk.
+ Mandatory.
Either the platform's native awk, mawk, or nawk, or GNU awk.
+ Homepage:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/
+ Download:
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gawk/
* pkg-config
+ Mandatory.
Needed to find the Boehm GC installation.
+ Home page:
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/
+ Download:
https://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/
+ Pre-built package name:
- On Debian and Debian-based systems: pkg-config,
- On Red Hat distributions: pkgconfig.
- Other: https://repology.org/project/pkg-config/versions
* GNU DejaGnu
+ Optional.
Needed for "make check" to actually test something.
+ Home page:
https://www.gnu.org/software/dejagnu/
+ Download:
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/dejagnu/
+ Pre-built package name:
- On Debian and Debian-based systems: dejagnu,
- On Red Hat distributions: dejagnu.
- Other: https://repology.org/project/dejagnu/versions
