your concern about the checks for these tools was due to the configure (or make, make install) failing if not present?I want to know what are the exact dependencies for building the tarball. Apart from valgrind (required for make check), what other tools are needed for doing: ./configure && make && make check && make install from the tarball? What about help2man?
Hi, the only dep to build the package is the C/C++ compiler (and the standard libraries).
valgrind is not required by make check (it is only required if you want to run make check-valgrind, which is not implied by make check); help2man is not required either.
As I said, if some of the above crucial deps are missing (C or C++ compiler) the configure will exit with error; otherwise, if other programs are missing, you can still run make, make check and make install.
