     74
     75=== osx ===
     76Contains a script for building OS X dependencies, see BuildInstructions#OSX.
     77
     78=== source ===
     79Source code of modified libraries and some that may not be available in package managers. It is shared for OS X, Windows, and *nix.
     80
     81 * '''cxxtest''': !CxxTest is a JUnit/CppUnit/xUnit-like framework for C/C++. It is focussed on being a lightweight framework that is well suited for integration into embedded systems development projects. http://cxxtest.tigris.org/
     82 * '''enet''': ENet's purpose is to provide a relatively thin, simple and robust network communication layer on top of UDP (User Datagram Protocol). The primary feature it provides is optional reliable, in-order delivery of packets. http://enet.bespin.org/
     83 * '''fcollada''': FCollada is a C++ library which offers support for COLLADA interoperability. http://collada.org/mediawiki/index.php/FCollada
     84 * '''nvtt''': The NVIDIA Texture Tools is a collection of image processing and texture manipulation tools, designed to be integrated in game tools and asset conditioning pipelines.

     85 * '''spidermonkey''': Mozilla's JavaScript engine written in C/C++. JavaScript is the game's scripting language of choice (game logic, AIs, random maps, etc). http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/
     86 * '''valgrind''': Valgrind is an instrumentation framework for building dynamic analysis tools. There are Valgrind tools that can automatically detect many memory management and threading bugs, and profile your programs in detail http://valgrind.org/
     87
     88=== win32 ===
     89Headers and prebuild static libs for win32 developers. Not used for *nix or OS X.
