To build gem5, you will need the following software:
21 <http://repo.gem5.org/gem5-stable/file/07352f119e48/README#l21>
g++ version 4.3 or newer.
22 <http://repo.gem5.org/gem5-stable/file/07352f119e48/README#l22>
Python, version 2.4 - 2.7 (we don't support Python 3.X). gem5 links in
the
23 <http://repo.gem5.org/gem5-stable/file/07352f119e48/README#l23>
Python interpreter, so you need the Python header files and shared
24 <http://repo.gem5.org/gem5-stable/file/07352f119e48/README#l24>
library (e.g., /usr/lib/libpython2.4.so) in addition to the
interpreter
25 <http://repo.gem5.org/gem5-stable/file/07352f119e48/README#l25>
executable. These may or may not be installed by default. For
example,
26 <http://repo.gem5.org/gem5-stable/file/07352f119e48/README#l26>
on Debian/Ubuntu, you need the "python-dev" package in addition to
the
27 <http://repo.gem5.org/gem5-stable/file/07352f119e48/README#l27>
"python" package. If you need a newer or different Python
installation
28 <http://repo.gem5.org/gem5-stable/file/07352f119e48/README#l28>
but can't or don't want to upgrade the default Python on your
system,
29 <http://repo.gem5.org/gem5-stable/file/07352f119e48/README#l29>
see http://www.gem5.org/Using_a_non-default_Python_installation
30 <http://repo.gem5.org/gem5-stable/file/07352f119e48/README#l30>
SCons, version 0.98.1 or newer. SCons is a powerful replacement for
make.
31 <http://repo.gem5.org/gem5-stable/file/07352f119e48/README#l31>
If you don't have administrator privileges on your machine, you
can use the
32 <http://repo.gem5.org/gem5-stable/file/07352f119e48/README#l32>
"scons-local" package to install scons in your m5 directory, or
install SCons
33 <http://repo.gem5.org/gem5-stable/file/07352f119e48/README#l33>
in your home directory using the '--prefix=' option.
34 <http://repo.gem5.org/gem5-stable/file/07352f119e48/README#l34>
SWIG, version 1.3.34 or newer
35 <http://repo.gem5.org/gem5-stable/file/07352f119e48/README#l35>
zlib, any recent version. For Debian/Ubuntu, you will need the
"zlib-dev" or
36 <http://repo.gem5.org/gem5-stable/file/07352f119e48/README#l36>
"zlib1g-dev" package to get the zlib.h header file as well as the
library
37 <http://repo.gem5.org/gem5-stable/file/07352f119e48/README#l37>
itself.
38 <http://repo.gem5.org/gem5-stable/file/07352f119e48/README#l38>
m4, the macro processor.
