Packages known to be needed to build in debian jessie.

LV2 plugin adds one more dependency:
    lv2-dev with minimum version >= 1.0.0.

Optional alterative
    libncursesw5-dev * only needed for wide (unicode) character recognition.

Other distros may have slightly different names or version numbers, and may even have these installed by default. If in doubt try looking for just the main part of the name, but with the -dev extension where appropriate.
