Installing Dependency Packages

Before compilation, you need to configure the source for the environment and install the mako module of Python 3 and dependency packages such as Meson.

Configure the source based on the network environment to install the dependency packages required for compiling the source code.
After the configuration is complete, update the index.
1
sudo apt update

Install the dependency packages required for the compilation.

Check whether the Python 3 environment of the server contains the mako module. If it does not have the mako module, install the module.
Run the following command to go to the Python 3 environment:
1
python3
In the Python 3 environment, run the following command to view the module information:
1
help("modules")
As shown in the following figure, if the command output contains the mako module, you can proceed with subsequent operations. If the mako module is missing, install it in the Python 3 environment. You can download the mako source code or use pip to install the mako module. The mako module is necessary for subsequent operations.
Create a buildtools directory in the user directory and grant the read, write, and execute permissions to the directory owner.
1 2
mkdir ~/buildtools chmod -R 700 ~/buildtools
Install Meson.
Download the source package according to Software Environment, upload the meson-0.63.2.tar.gz package in the source package to the ~/buildtools directory, and decompress meson-0.63.2.tar.gz.
1 2
cd ~/buildtools tar -xvpf meson-0.63.2.tar.gz
Set environment variables.
1. Add the following content to the end of the ~/.bashrc file:
  1 2 3
  cat >> ~/.bashrc <<EOF export PATH=~/buildtools/meson-0.63.2:\$PATH EOF
2. Make the environment variables take effect.
  1
  source ~/.bashrc
