Before using Miele-LXIV Easy, you need to install several prerequisite tools. These tools are essential for the configuration, downloading, and building processes.

​
Required Tools

​
kconfig-mconf

This is an interactive configuration tool normally used in Linux systems to rebuild the kernel with custom configurations. Miele-LXIV Easy uses it because it creates configuration files that work seamlessly with shell scripts.
kconfig-mconf provides the text-based menu interface you’ll use to configure your build options.

​
Installation via NuttX

The recommended installation method is through the NuttX project:
1

Create NuttX directory

mkdir -p $SRC/nuttx
cd $SRC/nuttx
Replace $SRC with your sources directory path.
2

Navigate to kconfig-frontends

cd $SRC/nuttx/tools/kconfig-frontends
3

Configure the build

./configure --disable-shared --enable-static --disable-gconf --disable-qconf --disable-nconf --disable-utils
4

Build and install

make
sudo make install
5

Verify installation

which kconfig-mconf
This should return the path to the installed binary.

​
Dependencies

Before building kconfig-mconf, you may need to install these dependencies using Homebrew: 
brew install gperf ncurses flex bison
Alternatively, you can install kconfig-mconf from sources, but the NuttX method is more convenient.

​
wget

wget is used to download library sources from the internet. 
brew install wget
The build script uses wget to download libraries from official sources and DICOM repositories.

​
cmake (Command-Line Tool)

The command-line cmake utility is required for configuring and building most libraries.
CMake (with capital C) is the GUI application, whereas cmake (lowercase) is the CLI utility that Miele-LXIV Easy needs.

​
Check if cmake is installed

First, verify if cmake is already available: 
which cmake
If this doesn’t return a path, you need to install it.

​
Installation Options

brew install cmake
If you have the CMake GUI application installed, the second method will make the command-line tool available system-wide.

​
Verification

Before proceeding, verify all tools are properly installed: 
# Check kconfig-mconf
which kconfig-mconf

# Check wget
which wget

# Check cmake
which cmake
cmake --version
The build.sh script will check for kconfig-mconf and cmake at startup. If either is missing, the script will exit with an error message.

​
Next Steps

Once you have all the prerequisites installed, you’re ready to download and set up Miele-LXIV Easy.
