Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Installing GCS on ArchLinux

[Felix Ruess]

Hi Jake,

you first need to install the dependencies and build tools.

If you have that, compiling/installing the GCS is no different from how it's done on Debian/Ubuntu, as that is always built and installed from source.

Apart from common tools like git, make, gcc, g++ and development libs like libusb, libpcre, libsdl you need gtk2 with glade and then OCaml:

For OCaml you could try using what is there in Arch already or immediately try installing ocaml itself and some libraries needed (ocamlfind, xml-light, pcre-ocaml, lablgtk, ocamlnet) via OPAM.

See http://opam.ocamlpro.com/doc/Quick_Install.html and http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Installation/RaspberryPi#OPAM

For the cross compiling toolchain use https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/, which you can just drop into your PATH.

This toolchain replaces the paparazzi-arm-multilib debian package since v5.0 anyway...

Hope that helps for now....

It would be great if you could document the packages and steps you needed.

Cheers, Felix

I'm installing the GCS on ArchLinux.  I can't add the PPA repositories since it's not a Debian based OS.  Is there a recommended way to install the GCS, or am I on my own here?
