The following pieces of software are required in order to build Onyx:

The following pieces of software support optional features of Onyx:

PCRE (local copy) : PCRE implements Perl-compatible regular expressions, which Onyx relies on for its regular expression support.
libedit source (local copy): libedit implements command line editing using emacs or vi key bindings. In order to include that functionality, libedit must be installed before Onyx is built.
dlcompat (local copy): Apple OS X does not natively support dlopen() and friends, which are required for Onyx's module system. OpenDarwin provides dlcompat, which is a compatibility library that fully meets Onyx's needs. In order to include module support on OS X, dlcompat must be installed before Onyx is built.
Pth : Pth is a cooperative userland threading library that Onyx is capable of using instead of POSIX pthreads.
