[hstampfl]

I did follwoing steps to get a fresh installed system prepared for building rectalbox-buildroot. - prepared a VirtualBox Server / 4Gb RAM / 4CPU Cores / 50Gb HDD - install Debian Jessie RC1 amd64 (Netinstall/SSH-Server Only) - Reboot & logged in - execute: sudo: su -c 'apt-get install sudo' - modify /etc/sudoers with: su -c 'visudo -f /etc/sudoers' - add Line below user root: <userid> ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL - execute: cd /opt - execute: sudo wget <link to createRecalboxOS.sh - execute: sudo chmod 777 createRecalboxOS.sh - execute: sudo ./createRecalboxOS.sh recalbox-rpi2 (this will give us following error)

make[1]: Leaving directory '/opt/recalbox-buildroot-recalbox-rpi2'
You must install 'hg' on your build machine
hg is usually part of the mercurial package in your distribution

make: *** [core-dependencies] Error 1

• execute: sudo apt-get install mercurial - execute: sudo ./createRecalboxOS.sh recalbox-rpi2 (again) (this will give us following error)

  You must install 'java' on your build machine

one detph I think you can't easely add, because java needs an manaual installation where you first have to create a .dep file. that's why I decided to share my experiance.
