I don't think so. If we keep adding cruft like this right there,
it's taking it from the original idea of "simple, quick, clean" to
something much more involved.
Clearly we need to capture this - I just think that having a separate
page for this somewhere, with a pointer from the quickhelp page would
be cleaner.
For step 3, this is some Wiki troubleshooting, but not sure which
one ;(
Cheers,

Alexei,
Great to hear about another achievement of our team!
Do you think the difficulties you report are permanent or relatively
temporary? If this is persistent, we can amend the 'Getting Started'
file; otherwise, I suggest that you add this info to our Wiki
troubleshooting pages. What do you say?
2) sounds permanent - perhaps Alexei Fedotov can provide more details
3) is relatively temporary as I think we've agreed to use versioned
libraries or at least try to load them first.

Subject: [build][doc] building on Debian
Hi all,
I gratefully like to announce that I was successful in building and
running Harmony on newly installed Debian stable Linux system. As
far
as I remember nobody has tried to build on Debian before (I may be
wrong of course).
However there were some tricks I'd like to share.
1. I was able to build both classlib and DRLVM without any problems
with our "getting started for contributors" page and default Debian
package set.
2. However, DRLVM completely rejected to run after step 1. Even
HelloWorld crashed. The problem was that the kernel I was using
wasn't
fresh enough - big thanks to Alexei Fedotov for pointing this out.
So
I've switched from version 2.4.27 to 2.6.8 and this brings DRLVM
back
to life.
3. After step 2 everything was almost fine. Except for the
graphics.
Almost all Swing & AWT tests fail because it fails to load
org.apache.harmony.awt.wtk.linux.LinuxWindowFactory. I've spent
some
time investigating this. The correct sequence of actions was
su
cd /usr/X11R6/lib
ln -sf libXmu.so.6 libXmu.so
ln -sf libXtst.so.6 libXtst.so
ldconfig
exit
Now everything is fine. I believe that the information from steps
(2)
and (3) may help others to setup Harmony quickly. Probably it is
not
a
bad idea to put it somewhere on our site.
Thanks,
