The core C library does not have any external dependencies other than the standard C library with GNU extensions. +The build system requires autotools, autoconf-archive, libtool and pkg-config +to be installed on the host system for the basic build. Development files for +additional libraries may be required depending on selected options. The +configure script will typically prompt the user for them clearly when missing. + The command-line tools optionally depend on libedit for the interactive feature.
