flRaw is written with portability in mind. However at this moment there's no build system (like configure/make or cmake) available yet. Please contact flraw-devel@lists.sourceforge.net if you're able and willing to give assistance in a build system or in packaging flRaw.
I do build flRaw on an Linux Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) distribution. Hereafter follows a summary of the libraries that need to be installed on your system. Please be aware that header files should be available for the building process, so typically you need the -dev versions to be installed.
| Lib | Full name on ubuntu | Version | Remark |
| libjpeg | libjpeg62-dev | 6b14 | |
| liblcms | liblcms1-dev | 1.16 | |
| libexiv2 | liblexiv2-dev | 0.15 | |
| libfltk | liblfltk1.1-dev | 1.1 | No Version 2.X ! |
If all libraries are available and the g++ compiler is installed, probably typing make should be sufficient to build flRaw.
