Which libs should I have installed on my system?

[FloRider]

So far I have:
ia32-libs
libncurses-dev
lib32stdc++6

I think I am missing a couple I had installed previously (I just wiped my Linux and virtual machine).

well seeing a lot of distros are different it's going to be impossible to tell you what files you need..

How will I know? Do I have the right ones for Lenovo's kernel?

? if you don't know, why would you be building a kernel? anyway good luck, hopefully Lenovo has a good warranty.

For fun. I want to see what I can accomplish. If you don't want to be helpful, at least save the sarcasm.

Kernel should be easy (you need more packages/libs to build CM, check CM wiki).

From what I know, "ia32-libs" are required for CodeSourcery on 64bit distros. I'd install "build-essential" package (Ubuntu/Mint) for sure, and (if not installed) "gcc" and "g++". You may also want Qt4 and ncurses librarier for "make xconfig" and "make menuconfig" to be working.

If you're still missing something the build will end up with an error, which hopefully should be pretty straightforward to debug

Great! That's a start. Thanks for the help.
