DEPENDENCIES

#
# libBlu mainMuxer dependencies.
# Inspired from the libxml2 DEPENDENCIES file.
#
# 3 levels of "dependencies":
#  - 'Mandatory': Strictly required.
#  - 'Optionnal': Only required for specified functionnalities, extensions.
#  - 'Not required': Not a dependency, won't be used.
#
# Links are provided for comfort. But it might be more practicle to
# use your system package manager.
# Development on Windows as been done using MSYS2 and its included pacman
# package manager.
