= Prerequisites =

== Build Tools ==

Before checking out and building GIMIAS, make sure that you have installed the following tools:

Tools that are available as packages of all major linux distributions (that is in most cases the easiest way to install them):
* An SVN client (e.g. the [http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html official command-line client] or the graphical client [[http://www.syntevo.com/smartsvn/download.html Smart SVN]])
* A ''C'' and ''C++'' compiler (we recommend the [http://gcc.gnu.org/ GNU Compiler Collection (gcc)])
* [http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html CMake >= 2.8]
* [http://www.python.org/getit/ Python >= 2.4]
* [http://www.wxpython.org/download.php wxPython] (corresponding to your Python version)

Tools that don't (yet) have a package in major Linux distributions:
* [https://github.com/csnake-org/CSnake/tarball/v2.5.0 CSnake >= 2.5.0]

== Libraries ==

You should also check that you have installed the following packages in your system:
* gtk2.0 (i.e. sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev ...)
* UUID-dev
* python-dev
* imagemagick
* doxygen
* subversion
* ruby-dev   
* '''Remark'': There could be a problem with the official driver of NVIDIA: it writes on some OpenGL (Mesa) headers . You have to uninstall it and install it again.
* libxt-dev: in order to have the file X11/StringDefs.h that you istall with this package
