# Build instructions (Linux)
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* Python 2.7
|
|
* [Node.js](http://nodejs.org)
|
|
* Clang 3.4 or later
|
|
* Development headers of GTK+ and libnotify
|
|
|
|
On Ubuntu you could install the libraries via:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential clang libdbus-1-dev libgtk2.0-dev \
|
|
libnotify-dev libgnome-keyring-dev libgconf2-dev \
|
|
libasound2-dev libcap-dev libcups2-dev libxtst-dev \
|
|
gcc-multilib g++-multilib
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Getting the code
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/atom/electron.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Bootstrapping
|
|
|
|
The bootstrap script will download all necessary build dependencies and create
|
|
build project files. Notice that we're using `ninja` to build Electron so
|
|
there is no `Makefile` generated.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd electron
|
|
$ ./script/bootstrap.py -v
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
Build both `Release` and `Debug` targets:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ ./script/build.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also only build the `Debug` target:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ ./script/build.py -c D
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After building is done, you can find `atom` under `out/D`.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### fatal error: bits/predefs.h: No such file or directory
|
|
|
|
If you got an error like this:
|
|
|
|
````
|
|
In file included from /usr/include/stdio.h:28:0,
|
|
from ../../../svnsrc/libgcc/../gcc/tsystem.h:88,
|
|
from ../../../svnsrc/libgcc/libgcc2.c:29:
|
|
/usr/include/features.h:324:26: fatal error: bits/predefs.h: No such file or directory
|
|
#include <bits/predefs.h>
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
Then you need to install `gcc-multilib` and `g++-multilib`, on Ubuntu you can do
|
|
this:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib g++-multilib
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### libudev.so.0 missing
|
|
|
|
If you get an error like:
|
|
|
|
````
|
|
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libudev.so.0, needed by .../vendor/brightray/vendor/download/libchromiumcontent/Release/libchromiumcontent.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
and you are on Ubuntu 13.04+, 64 bit system, try doing
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1.3.5 /usr/lib/libudev.so.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
for ubuntu 13.04+ 32 bit systems, try doing
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1.3.5 /usr/lib/libudev.so.0
|
|
```

|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ ./script/test.py
|
