 * libmysqlclient15-dev
 * libpq-dev
 * db2exc (optional for DB2 support)
 * oracle-xe-client (optional for Oracle support)

Run `make` (or `make free`) in the source directory to build the Open Source 
database drivers. To build the drivers for DB2 and Oracle, run `make all`. 

== Windows ==

Inside the vc++ directory are build projects for Visual C++ to build LuaDBI
for Windows.

= Make Targets =

 * make free - builds MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite3 drivers
 * make all - as above, but also builds DB2 and Oracle drivers
 * make mysql
 * make psql
 * make sqlite3
 * make db2
 * make oracle
