13 <para>You should be able to build a CLFS system from just about any
14 Unix-type operating system. Your host system should have the following
15 software with the minimum versions indicated. Also note that many
16 distributions will place software headers into separate packages, often in
17 the form of <quote>[package-name]-devel</quote> or
18 <quote>[package-name]-dev</quote>. Be sure to install those if
19 your distribution provides them.</para>
