= Supported host systems =

Here is a list of all supported and tested host systems. The host system is needed to create a firmware from scratch for your embedded linux system.

The list of supported GNU/Linux build systems is not an exclusive one, theese are just the ones tested and verified. The other millions of linux distributions are very likely to work as well; if yours works, drop us a note.

=== GNU/Linux operating systems ===

 * [http://www.debian.org/ Debian GNU/Linux] 3.1/4.0 (i386) 
 * [http://www.gentoo.org/ Gentoo GNU/Linux] (i386)
 * [http://www.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu GNU/Linux] 6.06/6.10/7.04 (i386)
 * [http://fedoraproject.org/ Fedora Core] 4 (i386)
 * [http://en.opensuse.org/ OpenSuse] 10.2 (i386)

=== UNIX® and related operating systems ===

 * [http://mirbsd.de/ MirOS] BSD (i386) -- partial support, full build of all packages is not guaranteed
 * [http://www.at.openbsd.org/ OpenBSD] 3.9/4.0/4.1 (i386, amd64) -- partial support, full build of all packages is not guaranteed
 * [http://www.apple.com/macosx/ Mac OSX / Darwin] -- partial support; install wget, use scripts/darwindiskimage for case-sensitive filesystem

== Other requirements ==

For a “standard build” (svn checkout, make menuconfig, no changes,
default ASUS WL-500g with squashfs), you need approximately 1.1 to 1.2 GiB of
space on your hard disc drive.
