Compiling G2 on Linux and OS X (command line)

• Install the prerequisites:

sudo apt-get install git-core gcc make

• Checkout TinyG2 source as of now, master branch is very outdated. There's no stable version available, but the brave souls may try edge branch.

mkdir -p ~/src/github.com/synthetos
cd ~/src/github.com/synthetos
git clone https://github.com/synthetos/g2 g2
cd ./g2
git checkout edge

To clone the edge branch directly you can run the following command:

git clone -b edge [email protected]:synthetos/g2.git

• Build the sources:

cd g2/TinyG2
make

WARNING! Do not use -j option when running make. It will break everything! See #11 for the details. The output is ./bin/gShield/gShield_flash.bin. After that, you will likely want to flash the firmware. See Flashing G2 with Linux.
