Hi Marcos,

Please do not send emails regarding specifically Apache Bigtop
(incubating) to general@hadoop.apache.org.

general@hadoop.apache.org is for general matter to Apache Hadoop.

Apache Bigtop (incubating) has its own set of mailing lists. See:
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/bigtop.html
So you should send your emails regarding Apache Bigtop (incubating) to
bigtop-dev@incubator.apache.org

Thanks,
Bruno


Note: I BCC general and redirect this email to bigtop-dev

Hi Marcos,

You may want to take a look at:
*
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BIGTOP/Frequently+Asked+Questions+%28FAQ%29#FrequentlyAskedQuestions%28FAQ%29-HowtobuildacomponentofBigTop%3F
* http://apachebigtop.pbworks.com/w/page/48434924/FrontPage

But I would recommend the following:
* (open)JDK 6
* rpmbuild
* Make
* Maven 3
* protobuf-compiler if you are going to work on the hadoop-0.23 branch
* ant
* gcc-c++
* autotools (automake/autoconf/libtool)
* openssl-devel
* zlib-devel
* asciidoc
* xmlto
* fuse-devel
* createrepo

I am not sure it is still needed, but you may need forrest 0.8 and to
export FORREST_HOME. And in case, don't waste time trying to package
forrest. It's not very packaging friendly and projects are in the
process of getting rid of it.


Feel free to ask any question if you encounter any issue.

Thanks,
Bruno
