-## Requirements
-
-### Required libraries:
- GTK+ 3.00
- www.gtk.org
- enabled by default
- disable with configure option: --disable-gtk3
- or
- GTK+ 2.20
- disabled by default when GTK+3 libraries are found.
- enable with configure option: --disable-gtk3
- optional items map display and GPU acceleration are not available
- with GTK2
-
- Note: GTK+3 is still somehow experimental. It is needed for some
- features but we have several complains about the GTK+3 usability.
-
- So if you need a stable version, you are advised to compile it
- with GTK+2. If you want to play with the cool new features, use
- GTK+3.
