Host Operating System Requirements</h3></div></div></div><p> |
| This version of Sourcery G++ supports the following host operating |
| systems and architectures: |
| </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p> |
| Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and |
| Windows 7 systems using IA32, AMD64, and Intel 64 |
| processors. |
| </p></li><li><p> |
| GNU/Linux systems using IA32, AMD64, or Intel 64 processors, |
| including Debian 3.1 (and later), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 |
| (and later), and SuSE Enterprise Linux 8 (and later). |
| </p></li></ul></div><p> |
| </p><p> |
| Sourcery G++ is built as a 32-bit application. Therefore, even when |
| running on a 64-bit host system, Sourcery G++ requires 32-bit |
| host libraries. If these libraries are not already installed on your |
| system, you must install them before installing and using Sourcery G++ Lite. |
| Consult your operating system documentation for more information about |
| obtaining these libraries. |
| </p><div class="caution" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Installing on Ubuntu and Debian GNU/Linux Hosts</h3><p> |
| The Sourcery G++ graphical installer is incompatible with the |
| <code class="command">dash</code> shell, which is the default |
| <code class="filename">/bin/sh</code> for recent releases of the |
| Ubuntu and Debian GNU/Linux distributions. To install |
| Sourcery G++ Lite on these systems, you must make |
| <code class="filename">/bin/sh</code> a symbolic link to one of the |
| supported shells: |
| <code class="command">bash</code>, |
| <code class="command">csh</code>, |
| <code class="command">tcsh</code>, |
| <code class="command">zsh</code>, |
| or <code class="command">ksh</code>. |
| </p><p> |
| For example, on Ubuntu systems, the recommended way to do this |
| is: |
| </p><pre class="screen">> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow dash |
| Install as /bin/sh? No</pre><p> |
| </p><p> |
| This is a limitation of the installer and uninstaller only, |
| not of the installed Sourcery G++ Lite toolchain. |
| </p></div></div><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id275857"></a>2.2.2. Host Hardware Requirements</h3></div></div></div><p> |
| In order to install and use Sourcery G++ Lite, you must have at least 512MB |
| of available memory. |
| </p><p> |
| The amount of disk space required for a complete Sourcery G++ Lite |
| installation directory depends on the host operating system |
| and the number of target libraries included. |
| <span> |
| When you start the graphical installer, it checks whether there is |
| sufficient disk space before beginning to install. Note that |
| the graphical installer also requires additional temporary |
| disk space during the installation process. |
| <span> |
| On Microsoft Windows hosts, the installer uses the location |
| specified by the <code class="envar">TEMP</code> environment variable for |
| these temporary files. |
| If there is not enough free space on that volume, the installer |
| prompts for an alternate location. |
| </span> |
| <span> |
| On Linux hosts, the installer puts temporary files in the |
| directory specified by the <code class="envar">IATEMPDIR</code> environment |
| variable, or <code class="filename">/tmp</code> if that is not set. |
| </span> |
