### Build Guide
Purr Data is usually built by just running `make` in the toplevel source directory after checking out the sources from its git repository. This works across all supported platforms (Linux, Mac and Windows at this time). The Makefile also offers the customary targets to clean (`make clean`, or `make realclean` to put the sources in pristine state again) and to roll a self-contained distribution tarball (`make dist`), as well as some other convenience targets (please check the comments at the beginning of the Makefile for more information).

However, to make this work, you will most likely have to install some prerequisites first: *build tools* such as a C/C++ compiler and the make program itself, as well as *dependencies*, the libraries that Purr Data needs. Detailed instructions for each of the supported platforms are given below.
