This Developer Guide describes the recommended approach for people who want to:
+
−
* Build [[Bering-uClibc 6.x]] from source code.
+
−
* Modify an existing Package.
+
−
* Add a new Package.
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
All [[LEAF]] variants are designed to run on small, embedded systems which do not provide a suitable platform for software development. The distribution therefore needs to be prepared on a separate "build" system and installed onto the "target" system.
+
−
The build system needs to run Linux but it can be any modern distribution which includes the pre-requisites described on [[Bering-uClibc 6.x - Developer Guide - Preparing the Build Environment|the next page]].

For [[Bering-uClibc 6.x]] there is a well-developed toolchain which consists of:
+
−
* A utility called <code class="filename">buildtool.pl</code> which automates the process of compiling source code for Packages.
+
−
** This also supports the compilation of the build environment itself, via a special pseudo-package called <code class="filename">toolchain</code>.
+
−
* A utility called <code class="filename">buildpacket.pl</code> which automates the process of assembling an installable Package (<tt>.lrp</tt>) file from compiled code.
+
−
* A utility called <code class="filename">buildimage.pl</code> which automates the process of preparing a disk Image from a full set of Package files.
