 The required software is typically distributed with your operating
 system, and the instructions for installing them differ.  Here are
 some hints:
 
 gNewSense/Debian/Ubuntu:
-sudo apt-get install git-core autoconf automake libtool gettext autopoint
-sudo apt-get install texinfo texlive texlive-generic-recommended texlive-extra-utils
-sudo apt-get install help2man gtk-doc-tools valgrind
-sudo apt-get install nettle-dev guile-1.8-dev libtasn1-3-dev libp11-kit-dev
-sudo apt-get install datefudge libidn11-dev
+apt-get install git-core autoconf automake libtool gettext autopoint
+apt-get install texinfo texlive texlive-generic-recommended texlive-extra-utils
+apt-get install help2man gtk-doc-tools valgrind
+apt-get install guile-1.8-dev libtasn1-3-dev
+apt-get install datefudge libidn11-dev gawk
+
+You will usually need to install more recent versions of Nettle,
+P11-kit and Autogen, which you will need to build from sources.  If
+your system has the recent versions, you could do:
+
+sudo apt-get install autogen nettle-dev libp11-kit-dev
