==How to adapt Madagascar to a new platform==
The most laborious part of adapting madagascar to a new platform is finding the proper dependency names. This usually proceeds as follows: dependency X fails with a "missing file" error either as a header file in <tt>config.log</tt>, or a missing library during the build step. Possible package names are found through an internet search for the missing file name and the distribution name or by using specific [http://rpm.pbone.net/ rpm search tools]. Packages are installed and the configure (and, if necessary) build processes are repeated until the error goes away.
