WeeChat Installation instructions
=================================
WeeChat can be built with cmake (recommended) or autotools.

only if you are not able to use cmake. +
Build with autotools requires more dependencies and is slower than with cmake.

Following packages are *required*:
* cmake
* ncurses
* curl
* zlib
* gcrypt
Following packages are all optional:
* for i18n: gettext
* for SSL: gnutls, ca-certificates
* for spell checking: aspell
* for scripting: python, perl, ruby, lua, tcl, guile
* for building doc: asciidoc, source-highlight
For a complete list of dependencies and versions recommended, please look at
