Hello,

In the tarbal there are two file. One for Debian derived distribution (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint etc) and one Fedora (RPM package base). All you need to do on your machine is to call:

chmod +x buildrequires.debian
sudo buildrequires.debian

All required package will be installed for you. Here is the list for your Mint distribution:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

apt-get install g++
apt-get install make
apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
apt-get install libnotify-dev
apt-get install libbz2-dev
apt-get install sox
apt-get install libssl-dev

Our POSIX distribution is complete in this area. And the development team that create this scripts made fantastic job. I do not see any reasons to create the copy of this file to fit the distribution name like buildrequirements.mint. Debian is alright if you posses minimal knowledge about linux distribution history.

Sincerely and have a nice day,
Klugier
