To use distcc:

  libpopt (if it was not statically linked in)

  Nothing else special is required, however it will be more fun if you
  have a C/C++ compiler and a make that can run commands in parallel,
  like GNU Make or BSD make :-)


To build distcc:

  libpopt (headers and library)

    On some platforms, libpopt may not be on the default library and
    header search paths.  You must in that case specify it's location
    either by setting the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS before running
    configure, or passing the directory names to the --with-extra-libs
    and --with-extra-includes options of configure.

  GNU Make, or something close to it

  C compiler

    
To run the test suite:

  Invoke with with "make check"

  Python 2.2


To build the documentation:

  This is only required if you modify the SGML source, or if you are
  building from CVS.  Built documents are included in release
  tarballs.

  Linuxdoc SGML tools


To build the web pages:
  
  Latte <www.latte.org>
  rsync (to upload)


To change the Makefiles or configure.ac:

  autoconf2.50 or later
