Development Dependencies

While Amanda's run-time and build-time requirements are minimal, Amanda development requires fairly new versions of several tools.

note that if you are using MacPorts, you will need both swig and swig-perl

Automake

>= 1.9.6

Autoconf

>= 2.60

Bison

note that this is required to build Amanda from distribution tarballs, too

Flex

>= 2.5.4a

note that this is required to build Amanda from distribution tarballs, too

Glib

>= 2.2.0 (glib version numbering is odd. 2.13.2 is fine!)

note that on some distributions you also need "devel" packages
