Missing dependencies for dev branch

I'm trying to get minko dev branch to work on linux Mint 17.1 using gcc 4.9.2. While compiling the project created with the master branch I got some missing dependencies.

I had to install glm 0.9.6.3-1 because the version in my repositories didn't have matrix_decompose.hpp.

Now, Provider.hpp includes sparsehash/forward.h. I couln't find any version of sparsehash with this file.

I find minko to be an incredibly good and practical library but it lacks documentation. Also, the informations in the README and other files in the dev branch are wrong or outdated.

Two questions:

  1. Where do I get the right sparsehash?
  2. Is there a dependencies list somewhere?

Thank you for your efforts and help.

    The 'master' branch does not use GLM (nor sparsehashmap). So you're probably on the 'dev' branch. Or worse, a mix of both. Try re-cloning the repo from scratch and properly checkout the 'dev' branch.

    Also make sure you're following the documentation to build Minko:

    You should not have to download/setup any extra dependency (except some very specific stuff for Linux and the html-overlay plugin).
