``pbpst`` only has two external dependencies:
-- `libjansson 2.7 `_
-- `libcurl 7.46.0 `_
+- `libjansson `_
+- `libcurl `_
Note that the versions of these dependencies are not firmly tested, so ``pbpst`` may compile and function just fine on older versions of both libraries.
However, I test only against the latest stable version of both; it is recommended that ``pbpst`` users keep both dependencies up-to-date as well.
In addition to the two external runtime dependencies listed above, ``pbpst`` uses the following three tools to perform a complete build:
-- `clang 3.7 `_ *
-- `python-sphinx 1.3.3 `_
-- `tup 0.7.3 `_
+- `clang `_ *
+- `python-sphinx `_
+- `tup `_
``clang`` is a special case.
I have recently allowed ``./configure`` to modify both the ``CFLAGS`` and the ``CC`` used in the build (to make packagers' lives simpler), and so you can use ``gcc`` if you would like.
