 From the Netsurf website:



Compiling

The recommended compiler is GCC. A guide to building NetSurf on RISC OS is
available, as are instructions for building the GTK version. NetSurf can also
be cross-compiled for RISC OS using GCCSDK.

The autobuilder compiles NetSurf every 15 minutes if changes have been checked
into SVN.

A debug version of NetSurf can be built. This is command-line only and 
does not
include any GUI code. It runs natively on Linux so can be debugged and checked
using gdb, efence, valgrind, etc.

Dependencies

In addition to the compiler, NetSurf requires a number of additional tools to
be available. These are enumerated below. Additionally, the libraries which
NetSurf uses are also listed

Tools

    * Lemon parser generator (http://www.hwaci.com/sw/lemon/)
    * re2c lexer (http://re2c.org/)

Libraries

    * cAres & cURL (http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/)
    * IJG JPEG library (http://www.ijg.org/)
    * MNG decoding library (http://www.libmng.com/)
    * OpenSSL (http://www.openssl.org/)
    * libXML 2 (http://www.xmlsoft.org/)
