4. How to build
---------------
In order to build aria2 from the source package, you need following development
packages(package name may vary depending on the distribution you use):
* libgnutls-dev (Required for HTTPS, BitTorrent support)
* libgpg-error-dev (Required for BitTorrent support)
* libgcrypt-dev (Required for BitTorrent support)
* libares-dev (Required for async DNS support)
* libxml2-dev (Required for Metalink support)
You can use libssl-dev instead of libgnutls-dev,libgpg-error-dev,libgcrypt-dev:
* libssl-dev (Required for HTTPS, BitTorrent support)
The build process is fairly standard way for *nix programs:
$ ./configure
