|
To build gem5, you will need the following software: g++ or clang,
|
||||||
http://www.gem5.org/Introduction
|
Python (gem5 links in the Python interpreter), SCons, SWIG, zlib, m4,
|
||||||
http://www.gem5.org/Build_System

and lastly protobuf if you want trace capture and playback

support. Please see http://www.gem5.org/Dependencies for more details

|
concerning the minimum versions of the aforementioned tools.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Short version:
|
Once you have all dependencies resolved, type 'scons
|
||||||
External tools and required versions
|
build/<ARCH>/gem5.opt' where ARCH is one of ALPHA, ARM, NULL, MIPS,
|
||||||
|
POWER, SPARC, or X86. This will build an optimized version of the gem5
|
||||||
|
binary (gem5.opt) for the the specified architecture. See
|
||||||
|
http://www.gem5.org/Build_System for more details and options.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To build gem5, you will need the following software:
|
With the simulator built, have a look at
|
||||||
g++ version 4.3 or newer.
|
http://www.gem5.org/Running_gem5 for more information on how to use
|
||||||
Python, version 2.4 - 2.7 (we don't support Python 3.X). gem5 links in the
|
gem5.
|
||||||
Python interpreter, so you need the Python header files and shared
|
|
||||||
library (e.g., /usr/lib/libpython2.4.so) in addition to the interpreter
|
|
||||||
executable. These may or may not be installed by default. For example,
|
|
||||||
on Debian/Ubuntu, you need the "python-dev" package in addition to the
|
|
||||||
"python" package. If you need a newer or different Python installation
|
|
||||||
but can't or don't want to upgrade the default Python on your system,
|
|
||||||
see http://www.gem5.org/Using_a_non-default_Python_installation
|
|
||||||
SCons, version 0.98.1 or newer. SCons is a powerful replacement for make.
|
|
||||||
If you don't have administrator privileges on your machine, you can use the
|
|
||||||
"scons-local" package to install scons in your m5 directory, or install SCons
|
|
||||||
in your home directory using the '--prefix=' option.
|
|
||||||
SWIG, version 1.3.34 or newer
|
|
||||||
zlib, any recent version. For Debian/Ubuntu, you will need the "zlib-dev" or
|
|
||||||
"zlib1g-dev" package to get the zlib.h header file as well as the library
|
|
||||||
itself.
|
|
||||||
m4, the macro processor.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
4. In this directory, type 'scons build/<ARCH>/gem5.opt' where ARCH is one
|
|
||||||
of ALPHA, ARM, MIPS, POWER, SPARC, or X86. This will build an optimized version
|
|
||||||
of the gem5 binary (gem5.opt) for the the specified architecture.
