h1. Development Environment

h3. Get the needed software

First of all you should take a look on the system requirements:

In a Debian based distributions (like Ubuntu), a set of packages are needed, you should install them:

<pre>

sudo aptitude install \

git subversion zlib1g-dev gawk flex unzip bzip2 gettext build-essential \

libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev binutils cpp psmisc docbook-to-man

</pre>

And if your machine is x86_64 you will need 32 bit development files.

In Debian/Ubuntu:

<pre>sudo aptitude install gcc-multilib</pre>

In CentOS/Fedora/RHEL the packets:

<pre>gcc.i686, libgcc.i686, and glibc-devel.i686</pre>

h3. Get the code and compile

* [Recomended] Get the qMp firmware generator using git: <pre>git clone git://qmp.cat/qmpfw.git qmpfw</pre>

* [Outdated] Or get the code using http: <pre>wget -c -q -O - "http://qmp.cat/gitrevision_download?project_id=7&rev=anonymous" | tar zxvf -</pre>

* Then enter to source directory: <pre>cd qmpfw</pre>

* [Advanced] Do a checkout specifying the branch: <pre>make .checkout_qmp QMP_GIT_BRANCH=branch_name</pre>

Example for testing branch: <pre>make .checkout_qmp QMP_GIT_BRANCH=testing</pre>

* And compile it specifying the target: <pre>make build T=alix</pre>

You can find available targets by executing: <pre>make list_targets</pre>

If you have more than one core in your computer you can use J=N: <pre>make build T=alix J=4</pre>

After that, you will find the images ready to install in your devices inside directory images/
