Editing Installation on other distributions


The [https://looking-glass.io/ci/host/doc?id=stable Official Documentation] contains installation instructions for Debian based distributions, and should work fine on derivatives. The following are supplemental guides for other distributions, which do not work using the Debian instructions.

<!-- Debian example for reference. Do not include --!

apt-get install binutils-dev cmake fonts-freefont-ttf libfontconfig1-dev libsdl2-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libspice-protocol-dev libx11-dev nettle-dev wayland-protocols

                              <!-- Dependencies must match Debian's order, and extra dependencies must be on another line, with a consistent order -->
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>

== Gentoo ==

=== Installing Dependencies ===
First set up the necessary USE flags if needed:
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
echo "media-libs/libsdl2 gles2" >> /etc/portage/package.use/libsdl2
echo "media-libs/nettle gmp" >> /etc/portage/package.use/nettle
</syntaxhighlight>
Then fetch the packages:
                              <!-- Dependencies must match Debian's order, and extra dependencies must be on another line, with a consistent order -->
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
emerge sys-devel/binutils dev-util/cmake media-fonts/freefonts media-libs/libsdl2 media-libs/sdl2-ttf app-emulation/spice-protocol \
       media-libs/fontconfig dev-libs/nettle \
       media-libs/glu
</syntaxhighlight>
This list can also be placed into a setfile in /etc/portage/sets/ so that they can be updated with 
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
emerge @setfile
</syntaxhighlight>
