Before we get to start building we need to do a few things:
* Check prerequisite packages to ensure that we have all dependancies:
+ * after running this script we'll have a log of all the installed dependancies as well as hints on where to find those packages we are missing.
+ * a little notice regarding gtk+2 and gtk+3, even if those 2 packages are installed, my script doesn't see them, I think it has something to do with the way regex works and the fact that there's a + in the name, but I didn't investigate much. Bottom line, if you have them installed you're good to go!
+
```
sh CHECK_PREREQ.sh
```

* Download the source tree, this operation will also give us the version numbers for every package
+ * this script will generate a versioning file containing all the version numbers for the packages.

```
sh DOWNLOAD.sh
```
- * this script will generate a versioning file containing all the version numbers for the packages.
