8 OpenADK is designed to run on Linux systems. But there is basic
9 support to run on MacOS X, Windows with Cygwin, OpenBSD, MirBSD,
10 NetBSD and FreeBSD. Main development happens on Debian/GNU Linux
11 and MacOS X. The other host platforms are occasionally tested.
13 OpenADK detects the host system and displays only the software
14 packages, which are known to be cross-compilable on the used host.
15 For example OpenJDK7 is only cross-compilable on a Linux host.
17 OpenADK needs some software to be already installed on the host
18 system; here is the list of the mandatory packages,
19 package names may vary between host systems.
24 ** +C compiler (gcc or clang)+
25 ** `C++ compiler (g++ or clang++)`
33 ** +ncurses development files+
34 ** +zlib development files+
35 ** +libc development files+
37 There is a check for the required versions of these tools in advance,
40 For some packages there are some optional packages required. OpenADK
41 will check for the required tools in advance, when a specific package is
42 choosen. For example Kodi needs Java installed on the host system.
43 OpenADK tries to avoid any optional required host tools and will try to
44 build them when needed.
