    7474Parrot can be built with a number of C compilers. Parrot is written using the 
    7575C89 standard, and the Parrot project officially supports the most recent 
    7676C89 compiler on major systems, including the most recent versions of Microsoft 
    7777C Compiler and the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).

    8080 
    8181Make is a program to manage and automate the build process. Unix-based systems 
    8282will typically have access to the C<make> command as part of the normal 
    8383development tools. Windows systems can get the C<nmake> utility to perform the 
    8484same task.

     86=item * Subversion 
    8787 
    8888Subversion is the source control system that is used by the Parrot project. 
    8989You need subversion to checkout the latest version of the source code. You can 
    9090get subversion at L<http://subversion.tigris.org>, or through one of the 
    9191common packaging systems.

     93=item * bison and flex 
    9494 
    9595Bison and Flex are used to create the lexical analyzer and parser components 
    9696for the PIR compilers IMCC and PIRC. These are not necessary most of the time 
    9797unless you are planning to hack on IMCC and PIRC directly.

    100100 
    101101ICU is a library for handling and manipulating Unicode text strings. Without 
    102102ICU libraries installed, you wont be able to use Unicode with your built 
    103103Parrot.

    105 =item* GMP 
     105=item * GMP 
    106106 
    107107GMP is a mathematics library for manipulating arbitrary precision and 
    108108arbitrary size numbers. GMP is an optional library used by the BigInt 
    109109and BigNum PMCs.

    111 =item* Readline 
     111=item * Readline 
    112112 
    113113The readline library allows some advanced behaviors on the command line such 
    114114as command history.

     116=item * PCRE 
    117117 
    118118PCRE is a library that provides access to the Perl 5 regular expression syntax. 
    119119In order to use these regular expressions, you will want to install PCRE. To 
     
    121121 
    122122  sudo apt-get install libpcre3-dev

     128=item * GLUT 
    129129 
    130130GLUT is an interface to the OpenGL API. It enables programs running on Parrot 
    131131to have access to 3D graphics. To get GLUT on Linux systems you can use the

    10161016The two calls are equivalent, and the C<read> opcode calls the C<'read'()> 
    10171017method internally.
