 REQUIREMENTS
   For UNIX, a modern C++ compiler with some extensions is required to
-  compile this game. In addition, you will need the Perl development

-  libraries along with the following Perl modules (the server is tested
+  development libraries along with the following Perl modules (the server

+  is tested with perl 5.8.8 and 5.8-maint) and their dependencies. (the
+  minimum versions below may not be up-to-date, the configure script will
+  check them all, though).
-     - BDB >= v0.1
+     - AnyEvent >= v2.52
+     - BDB >= v0.1                   **libdb4.5, libdb4.4 might work**
-     - Compress::LZF >= v1.71
+     - Compress::LZF >= v1.8
-     - Coro >= v3.62
+     - Coro >= v3.62                 **SEE IMPORTANT NOTICE BELOW**
      - Coro::Event >= v2.1
-     - Crossfire >= v0.97
+     - Crossfire >= v0.99
      - Digest::MD5 >= v2.0
      - Event >= v1.08
-     - IO::AIO >= 2.32
+     - IO::AIO >= v2.4
-     - JSON::XS => 1.11
+     - JSON::XS => v1.41
      - Pod::POM >= v0.17
      - Safe::Hole >= v0.10
      - Storable >= v2.0
      - Time::HiRes >= v1.0
      - YAML::Syck >= v0.71
+     - YAML => v0.62
+  **NOTICE**: Crossfire uses an alternative signal stack, so you have to
+  use either the "u"context method (slow) or "a"ssembly when configuring Coro.
   Furthermore, you will need the following programs and libraries:
      - gperf, the GNU perfect hash generator >= v3.0
      - glib-2.0 >= v2.10
      - libpng >= v1.2
-     - ImageMagick >= v6.0
+     - ImageMagick >= v6.0 (possibly higher, depending on its bugs)
      - optipng => v0.5.5 (http://optipng.sf.net)
-     - pngnq >= 0.4 (http://freshmeat.net/redir/pngnq/53146/url_homepage/pngnq.html)
+     - pngnq >= v0.4 (http://freshmeat.net/redir/pngnq/53146/url_homepage/pngnq.html)
-     - rsync >= 2.6 (a must have anyways)
+     - rsync >= v2.6 (a must have anyways)
   Your compiler must support the Library Technical Report 1 extensions and
   the upcoming typeof extension. The GNU C++ compiler >= version 4.0 does
   support all these.
   On Debian GNU/Linux, you might get away with something like this for many of the
   above dependencies:
   apt-get install gperf optipng pngnq rsync imagemagick libglib2.0-dev libpng12-dev
   apt-get install libpod-pom-perl libsafe-hole-perl libevent-perl
+  If you want to get sensible backtraces for error conditions at runtime
+  to be logged you also need the external addr2line program (part of GNU
+  binutils) in your PATH.
 COMPILING
   Crossfire has been known to compile on a wide variety of systems. It should
   Crossfire runs on a client/server model. You will also a client to
   play. You can either connect to a server someone else has set up, or
   run your own server and connect to that. There are a number of clients
   available, but the recommended one is CFPlus (see below for URL).
