 Amiga Inc. Faq-O-Matic : Amiga SDK FAQ :
What version of Linux is recommended for the SDK? |
Developer Support officially recommends RedHat 6.1.
However, the Developer Support team has received reports of the SDK installing under SuSE, Slack and versions of Mandrake less than 7.1.
We are working on the SDK to overcome the problem of the SDK not working with with Mandrake 7.1 and Redhat 6.2.

Using the SDK under Debian Linux
To do this under the 'Potato' release, you must have "rpm" installed. However, Debian's package database is not in the same format as what "rpm" expects so it will complain about broken dependencies.
You must resolve these dependencies manually. To do so:
- run "rpm" on the file(s) you wish to install. A listing of broken dependencies will be displayed. Note that the dependencies are expressed in terms of individual *files*, not Debian packages.
- find the Debian packages which contain the relevant files.
**NOTE** -- Debian Potato (at the time this FAQ entry was written) already ships with all of the prerequisite files (at least this is my experience).
Once you're certain all the requisite files have been installed, use the "--force" option of "rpm" to have it ignore dependencies. You should now have a working installation of the Amiga SDK under Debian.
Alternate Solution
It is reported that the easiest way to install the SDK under Debian is to first convert the RPM packages to debs with the alien tool. To create a deb package in the current directory form an RPM called amiga-sdk-1.0.i386.rpm located in directory /this/path, do the following:
- alien /path/amiga-sdk-1.0.i386.rpm
- install the deb with "dpkg --install amiga-sdk_1.0.deb"
