Install and Make Dependencies
[edit | edit source]The flashrom
and bucts
programs require a few dependencies. Install them automatically with the Libreboot builddeb
scripts.
- For DEB-based distros (Trisquel, Ubuntu, Debian, etc):
sudo ./deps-trisquel
- For Arch-based distros (Parabola, Arch Linux, etc):
sudo ./deps-parabola
- Other Linux distros will need to find the corresponding dependencies on their own.
Next, we actually have to build flashrom
and bucts
from source code. The Libreboot developers have made a nice build script that does this automatically:
sudo ./builddeps-flashrom sudo ./builddeps-bucts
