+## Build Dependencies
+
+In order to build eSpeak, you need:
+
+1.  a functional autotools system (`make`, `autoconf`, `automake`, `libtool`
+    and `pkg-config`);
+2.  a functional c++ compiler;
+3.  wxWidgets development libraries (needed to build and run espeakedit
+    to compile the phoneme data).
+
+Optionally, you need:
+
+1.  the pulseaudio development library to enable pulseaudio output;
+2.  the portaudio development library to enable portaudio output.
