+### Prerequisites
+
+The depends system is maintained and tested using Ubuntu Trusty. Both generic
+apt packages, and packages specific to the target architecture are required to
+successfully compile all dependencies. Listed packages are tested and known to
+work.
+
+#### Generic packages
+
+```
+sudo apt-get install autoconf automake binutils-gold ca-certificates curl \
+ faketime git-core libtool pkg-config python
+```
+
+#### Generic linux: i686-pc-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu
+
+```
+sudo apt-get install g++-4.8-multilib gcc-4.8-multilib
+```
+
+#### ARM7 32bit: arm-linux-gnueabihf
+
+```
+sudo apt-get install g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf g++-4.8-arm-linux-gnueabihf \
+ gcc-4.8-arm-linux-gnueabihf binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf
+```
+
+#### ARM 64bit: aarch64-linux-gnu
+
+```
+sudo apt-get install g++-aarch64-linux-gnu g++-4.8-aarch64-linux-gnu \
+ gcc-4.8-aarch64-linux-gnu binutils-aarch64-linux-gnu
+```
+
+#### Windows: i686-w64-mingw32 and x86_64-w64-mingw32
+
+```
+sudo apt-get install g++ g++-mingw-w64 mingw-w64 nsis zip
+```
+
+#### macOS (Intel): x86_64-apple-darwin11
