I've read several documentation on LinuxBios and related projects, though I didn't find out a LinuxBios requirements "true" paper. I still have the 2.4.xx kernel compiling oriented slab that is to say : GNU Make 3.77, ECGS 1.1.2 (GCC 2.91.66), Binutils 2.10, util-linux 2.10.
Also I had a quite old python version (1.1 or so), i got it updated to 2.2.3 when I've seen the python script insulted me while running buildtarget.
What are the "official" requirements ?
What I try to say is that a REQUIEREMENTS file in the source tree LACKS, Maybe it lacks also in the site page (IMHO, the early page info should mention this)...

Yes, most of us are too busy getting LinuxBIOS working to spare the time to write much documentation. I can say that I've built most of the targets successfully using a stock RH9 (YD3.0.1 for PPC) machine. That's probably as good a base-line as any.

Hum ... under certains "embedded conditions" redhat is somewhat heavy to "handle"... ... anyway Linuxbios aims to work on various hardware device (provided that we make it work :) so it is on various linux distribution, isn't it so ? if not, IMHO, it should be :)
And more over, seriously, it will gain even more credibility if it's proven to work on other distrib. It is again the same crosspoint : portability on every layer, down from hardware conformance and standards, up to software versions and "use conventions".
Enough bla-bla'ing, as soon as I got it compiled and proven work on my SuSE 6.2 modified (from tail to head), I post the enumeration soft-components, I'am sure it will be appreciated.

Mathieu,
I think you misunderstood. I wasn't implying RH9 as the "default distribution" for LinuxBIOS. I was simply suggesting that the development tools (gcc, libc, python, etc.) that are supplied with RH9 are a good approximation of the versions required to guarantee a successful build.

Anything older than 2.1 won't work.

Maybe it would make sense to enhance the available LinuxBIOS on AMD64 document (freebios2/documentation/LinuxBIOS-AMD64.pdf) to contain information about the other ports as well. LinuxBIOS v2 does a great job unifying things.

Well, thank you very much it's only what I was looking for. I know for now ecgs is quite "old" but since it's recommanded for kernel compilation... If I knew I get that bother...
Pfiou, all the components needs to be upgraded... so the shortcut is called Red Hat 9 ...

Truely a good document to start with, it gave me a good "overall view" to what linuxbios is up to : so a port' would be thaaaaat great.
