# Building gem5
Official instructions are sparse. Under exploratory development:
libpython2.7-dev protobuf-compiler
scons -j16 build/POWER/gem5.opt
+Two warnings are given about fallthrough on case statements... which are commented as such... and yet nobody thought to tell the compiler that. TODO: investigate how to disable "-Werror" in scons...

# gcc powerpc cross-compiler
Note that this is not the same as the 64-bit powerpc64le or the 64-bit powerpc64 compiler
apt-get install gcc-8-powerpc-linux-gnu g++-8-powerpc-linux-gnu

+# libtcmalloc

+Apparently installing libtcmalloc gives a 12% performance increase

+ apt-get install libtcmalloc-minimal4
