We may need a real or emulated ARM device, which has Linux and any Java environment installed. We need Java to perform a javac compilation, which is a necessary part of the IcedTea building process.
Let's download an IcedTea source.

Then, you may need to install some dependency packages needed to make your IcedTea.
The following packages are those that were missing on my machine during my first build.
