Do we have any documentation on package dependencies and versions
Hi All,
Is there any documentation,
For a newly installed OS(linux) what are the required kernel version, libraries, packages, tools and any version dependencies.
May not be for individual features, but at basic Mynewt OS level build dependencies.
I just want to have a pre-requisite check script, so the document can help me in preparing that.
Thanks,
Krishna B

Hi Krishna,
i. I don't think there's any issues with compatibility between i386 and
x86_64 with respect to the Linux distro. libc6-i386 is used to create
32-bit executables for Mynewt.
ii. I don't believe there are any required packages.
iii. The newt tool itself is statically linked, so it doesn't need any
libraries to run. For specific versions for the toolchains, the ones listed
in the original response should be sufficient.
If I'm missing any information, maybe the rest of the group can chime in.
It could also be beneficial to look into creating a flatpak for newt.
Best,
David

Hi David,
Thanks for the info
Yes, I was able to build mynewt with help newt. But to make it auto run on any new PC, just want to keep a pre-requisite script(only for default build).
Like,
i. Is it compatible with both X86_64 and i386 or if X86_64 is there any additional libraries need to be provided, etc.
ii. Packages like python, perl, etc.
iii. Any specific libraries, like gcc(particular version), libc, etc.
Thanks,
Krishna B

Hey Krishna,
There aren't any extensive checks that are done with each version. Based on
the documentation on the Apache Mynewt website, these are the versions that
have been tested:
Linux distro and version: Ubuntu version 17.04, kernel version 4.10
gcc-multilib (libc6-i386): v 2.4 or greater
gdb: v 7.7.1
gcc for ARM (gcc-arm-embedded): v 4.9.3
openocd: 0.10.0
Have you already tried installing Newt? There are instructions for
installing Newt, native toolchain, and cross tools for ARM on Mynewt
website here:
