On a Debian-based system, including Ubuntu or Mint, you can simply type
`sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev gawk git ccache gettext libssl-dev xsltproc`. Additional packages may be required if you encounter errors during the build process (e.g., `sudo apt-get install libxml-parser-perl`).

Building on OSX is ill-advised, as such requires a large number of dependencies and, most difficultly, a case-sensitive filesystem. Here is [how to determine if you are](https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/71357/how-to-check-if-my-hd-is-case-sensitive-or-not), but unless you installed OSX yourself and use no Adobe programs (they require case-insensitive), your filesystem is case-insensitive.
