- libcurl (HTTP downloads)
- zlib (Archives)
See the `AUTHORS` file for the list of developers.

Compiling the Client
--------------------
Installing the dependencies on Ubuntu
sudo apt install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev \
libsdl2-net-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-gfx-dev \
libcurl4-openssl-dev libphysfs-dev libxml2-dev \
libguichan-dev
Once the dependencies are installed, use CMake:
cmake .
cmake --build . --parallel
This produces an executable in `src/mana`. If running it without installing, be
sure to run it from the repository root so that it can find its data files.
See `README.cmake` for additional information.
