Libreboot's build system is regularly -testing on all the major distros. Please do report bugs if you encounter -issues. - -Host CPU --------- - -At least an Intel Core 2 Duo, though we recommend much faster CPUs if building -entire release archives, e.g. quad-core Haswell CPU or better. - -NOTE: x86 boards require an *x86_64* host CPU with appropriate host toolchains -and libraries. We don't yet cross-compile x86 payloads. - -NOTE2: ARM64 mainboards *are* cross compiled, so you can build for AArch64 -machines quite easily, from x86 or ARM64 machines. - -NOTE3: *32-bit* x86 (i686) machines can be used to compile Libreboot, but -MemTest86\+ is only compiled for 64-bit, and not cross compiled, so builds -are disabled when lbmk detects a 32-bit host CPU. - -Memory ------- - -At least 2GB per CPU core, ideally 4GB; for example, 16GB RAM is recommended -if you're compiling an a quad-core CPU. - -NOTE: `XBMK_THREADS` environmental variable defaults to 1 if unset. This sets -the number of build threads, which you should match to the number of cores. -For example, when you're building on a quad-core, do this prior to building: - - export XBMK_THREADS=4 - -Disk space ----------- - -About 20GB bare minimum, if only compiling for 1 board. The sources take up a -lot of space. However, Libreboot is always expanding as it's developed. - -At least 50GB of free disk space is therefor recommended. - -We *actually* recommend 100GB, because Libreboot will also have a Linux distro -in flash on a future release.
