+We try to have a complete list of build dependencies in each source
+repositories 'debian/control' file. If you run `make deb` dpkg-buildpackge will

+
+Additionally, for quickly installing (almost) all build dependencies run:
+
+apt-get install autotools-dev autogen dh-autoreconf dkms doxygen check pkg-config \
