Note: setup has been done on partially set up development machines. If, trying to compile on your machine, you find any package missing from the following list, please open an issue at once! We all can't afford wasting time on setup :)

Debian requirements

sudo apt-get install build-essential gperf bison subversion texinfo zip automake flex libusb-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev

Mac OSX requirements

You need to install MacPorts: https://www.macports.org/install.php. Once done, open a terminal and type:

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade outdated
sudo port install wget +universal
sudo port install automake +universal
sudo port install autoconf +universal
sudo port install gpatch +universal
sudo port install libusb +universal

Windows requirements

You need to install Cygwin: http://www.cygwin.com/. Once you have run setup-x86.exe, use the Search text field to filter and select for installation the following packages:

• git
• wget
• unzip
• gperf
• bison
• flex
• make
• patch
• automake
• autoconf
• gcc-g++
• texinfo (must be at version 4.13-4 since 5+ won't work)
• libusb1.0 and libusb1.0-devel

A note on texinfo: due to dependencies, each time you update/modify your cygwin installation (for example: you install an additional package), texinfo will be upgraded to version 5+, while you need version 4+! Easy solution: as soon as you've installed the additional package, re-run cygwin setup, search texinfo, triple click on "Keep" until you read version 4, then click next.
