SDK.Prereq

System Prerequisites for SDK

Generally, the only things you'll need to run the SDK are

  • A modern, compatible Java SE implementation. Java SE 5 or Java SE 6 is fine.

For building your own SDK (coming soon!), you'll need :

  • The PCRE libraries
  • The Boost threading and filesystem libraries

Verified Platforms

The following platforms have been verified to work, assuming you can figure out the dependency incantations. If you have verified on a platform not listed below, please let us know

  • OS X 10., 10.5 : There are no prerequisites. Download should just work.
  • Fedora 8 x86_64
  • Fedora 6 x86_64
  • Ubuntu 8.04 x86_64
  • Ubuntu 7.1 x86_64
  • Ubuntu 8.1 i386
  • Windows XP
  • Windows Vista

Known Problems

OS X

Java SE 5/6 is included on the standard OS X distro, so that is automatically satisified.

Linux

In general, Java SE 6 is recommended, and we recommend that you put the JDK at /opt/java in your filesystem.
