System requirements
-------------------
Buildroot is design to run on Linux system.
Buildroot needs some software to be already installed on the host
system; hereafter the lists of the mandatory and optional packages
(package names may vary between distributions).
Take care of _installing both runtime and development data_, especially
for the libraries that may be packaged in 2 distinct packages.

* Source fetching tools:
+
In the official tree, most of the package sources are retrieved

development context.
+
** +bazaar+

** +scp+
** +subversion+
* Configuration interface dependencies (requires development libraries):

** +glib2+, +gtk2+ and +glade2+ to use the 'gconfig' interface
* Development libraries:
** +zlib1+
** +netpbm10+ (for +fbtest+)
