  23 <p>The following list contains all software that Barry depends on, and
  24 the reason for it.  Some are only needed for building the source, and
  25 some are only needed for building CVS.
  26
  27 <ul>
  28         <li><b>C and C++ compilers</b> (source build)</li>
  29         <li><b>pkg-config</b> (source build: so configure can autodetect library locations) </li>
  30         <li><b>libusb, stable (0.1.x)</b> - found at <a href="http://libusb.sourceforge.net">http://libusb.sourceforge.net/</a> </li>
  31         <li><b>openssl</b> (needed for password hashing) - found at <a href="http://www.openssl.org/">http://www.openssl.org/</a></li>
  32         <li><b>pthread</b>
  33         <li><b>boost</b> version 1.33 or higher (optional, needed for the serialization library, which you need if you want to save downloads for later uploads to the device, using btool) <a href="http://www.boost.org/">http://www.boost.org</a></li>
  34         <li><b>automake</b> version 1.9 (CVS builds only) </li>

  45 <div class="subHeader">The Case of the Broken libtar</div>
  46
  47 <p>Well meaning people, in efforts to port the libtar examples to 64-bit
  48 systems have introduced a bug that causes libtar to mismatch standard
  49 read() and write() function call prototypes.</p>
  50
  51 <p>This bug has been seen in the Mandriva, ArchLinux, and Gentoo distros.
  52 Depending on your system, and how up to date it is, it may already have been
  53 fixed.</p>
  54
  55 <p>The curious can read more about this bug
  56 <a href="http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=20070803200729.GA7068%40foursquare.net">here</a> and
  57 <a href="http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=20080417204336.GA15423%40foursquare.net">here</a>.</p>
  58
  59 <p>Of course, you probably don't want to read the intricate details of
  60 distro bugs.  You just want it to work!  For such systems, I usually
  61 grab the libtar source RPM package from
  62 <a href="ftp://ftp.nrc.ca/pub/systems/linux/redhat/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/source/SRPMS/libtar-1.2.11-9.fc8.src.rpm">here</a> and then run:
  63 <pre>
  64 rpm -i libtar-1.2.11-9.fc8.src.rpm
  65 (become root)
  66 cd /usr/src/packages/SPECS
  67 rpmbuild -ba libtar.spec
  68 rpm -i ../RPMS/*/libtar*rpm
  69 </pre>
