Welcome to the gsDevKitHome wiki!

Getting gsDevKitHome to work on a OSX is a piece of cake, it just runs without any hiccups. Getting it to run on Linux is trickier, so here's a guide to have gsDevKitHome working on Debian Wheezy.

Debian 7.6 (Wheezy)

Why Debian Wheezy? It happens to be the version I have installed in the cloud, and I'm not ready to upgrade it as it will probably break lots of services I have running there.

Trying to run gsDevKitHome on Debian Wheezy will fail quite early in the installation process. The following are prerequisites for a smooth installation:

1. Download and install Debian 7.6 Wheezy amd64 with Gnome, all defaults
2. Login, open a Root Terminal, and run the following

 dpkg --add-architecture i386
 apt-get update
 apt-get upgrade
 apt-get install curl git gdb
 # it's a good idea restarting the system at this point
 apt-get install libssl1.0.0:i386
 echo -e '\n# experimental\ndeb http://ftp.debian.org/debian experimental main' > /etc/apt/sources.list
 apt-get update
 apt-get -t experimental install libc6-i686:i386 libc6-dev:i386 libc6-dbg:i386
 apt-get install libpam0g:i386 libstdc++6:i386 ia32-libs

The system should be ready for a successful installation at this point. Before running installServer, however, it is a good idea running the following:

  export LC_ALL=C
