Main resource is here. The important point is to check that all the scripts work with perl -cw to be sure that no perl modules are missing.

Here are the packages to install on top of that:

perl-lwp-protocol-https
perl-digest-sha1
perl-ipc-run
ccache
bison
cronie
flex
gdb
gcc
clang
git-core
make
tcl
libxslt

Check that build has necessary packages with command like that (simply copy-paste that and don’t think more, no python support here):

./configure --enable-cassert --enable-debug \
    --enable-nls --enable-integer-datetimes \
    --with-perl --with-tcl --with-krb5 \
    --with-includes=/usr/include/et --with-openssl
make

Just to be sure that everything works fine, try a test build:

./run_build.pl --nosend --nostatus --verbose
