These instructions for how to get and compile the source are intended for a Linux
OS. Windows users are suggested to develop in a [Linux VM][linux-vm] or use Wubi.
To get and compile the source you must have `patch`, `wget`, `unzip`, `git`, `autoconf`,
`subversion` and `cmake` installed, as well as a version of `autoconf` greater than 2.64.
You also need `nasm` and of course a compiler like `gcc` or `clang`. If you want to
cross-compile for other architectures, you need a proper cross-compile toolchain.
Your GCC should be at least of version 4.7 for both native and cross compiling.

Users of Debian and Ubuntu can install the required packages using:
```
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool gcc-multilib libffi-dev \
patch wget unzip git autoconf subversion cmake nasm libsdl1.2-dev
patch wget unzip git autoconf subversion cmake nasm libsdl1.2-dev luarocks
```
Cross compile toolchains are available for Ubuntu users through these commands:
