Development:Dependency Matrix
Adonthell is a fairly complex project that has a number of dependencies. Most of those are common in the Unix world and you might find that they are already present on your system. When attempting to develop on more obscure systems you might have to install a couple of those yourself however.
Afterwards you are ready to get the source and compile Adonthell.

Notes
- Dependencies are listed in the order they should be installed, in case you start with a bare system.
- The version numbers given are the minimum version required and the most recent version known to still work with Adonthell. Please update as appropriate.
- Most libraries should be installed together with the development packages: the debian development packages are packagename-dev, e.g. libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
