Build dependencies

In addition to the third party source code listed below, building Bedrock Linux requires:

• Standard UNIX tools such as sh, grep, sed, awk, and tar
• gcc (EXCEPT 4.8.X and 4.9.0 - older ones such as gcc 4.7.X or newer ones such as 4.9.1+ should be fine.)
• autoconf (for FUSE)
• automake (for FUSE)
• libtool (for FUSE)
• gettext (for FUSE)
• fakeroot (for building tarball with proper permissions)

---

Third party souce code

If make does not see the required third party source code it will attempt to automatically require it via git. If you do not want this, acquire the source code for the following projects:

• busybox (tested with version 1.23.1, but newer should be fine)
• fuse (version 2.9.X)
• libattr (latest version)
• libcap (latest version)
• the Linux kernel (tested with 4.1, but newer should be fine)
• musl libc (latest from 1.0.X branch)

then unpackage and place in src/ with the following names:

• src/busybox/
• src/fuse/
• src/libattr/
• src/libcap/
• src/linux_headers/
• src/musl/

Then, create a file named ".success_retreiving_source" in the directory, like so:

• src/busybox/.success_retreiving_source
• src/fuse/.success_retreiving_source
• src/libattr/.success_retreiving_source
• src/libcap/.success_retreiving_source
• src/linux_headers/.success_retreiving_source
• src/musl/.success_retreiving_source

Building

To build a tarball of the Bedrock Linux userland, ready to be installed via untar'ing, run:

make

This will pull in third party source code (if you did not already), compile, and create the tarball.

To clean up a build, run

make clean

To remove (either manually or automatically acquired) third party source code, run

make clean_source_all

Installation

To install (very brief overview - see release's website for details), method A:

• Install some other distro to handle partitioning and bootloader (as well as things such as full disk encryption).

• Boot into other distro, then run:

  cd / && tar xvf

• Acquire other distros' userlands into /bedrock/strata/

• Configure Bedrock Linux

• Configure bootloader to use init=/bedrock/sbin/brn

• Reboot into Bedrock Linux.

To install (very brief overview - see release's website for details), method B:

• Manually partition and set up desired bootloader, as well as things such as full disk encryption.

• Mount partition somewhere (e.g. /mnt/bedrock)

• Run:

  cd && tar xvf

• Acquire other distros' userlands into /bedrock/strata/

• Configure Bedrock Linux

• Configure bootloader to use init=/bedrock/sbin/brn

• Reboot into Bedrock Linux.
