omission from Getting Started guide

Post by Jagdpanzer »

Hi,

I think there is an omission from the Getting Started guide at https://dreamcast.wiki/Getting_Started_ ... evelopment

I followed the guide from a fresh installation of Debian-based Linux, and got build errors when building kos-ports.

The error was due to rake not being installed; after installing rake with apt-get I was able to continue building.

I suggest you add rake to the "sudo apt install" section of the guide.

Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback, I went ahead and added rake into the dependencies.

I was resisting doing this because I wanted to split out the KOS build dependencies from the kos-ports dependencies (which are growing and growing as new ports are being added this year) and I just haven't gotten around to doing that yet, since it's tripping people up at the kos-ports instructions I'll just add rake and reevaluate and split it all up later when I can get around to it.
