As adu is based on libosl, the object storage layer, you first have to install http://people.tuebingen.mpg.de/maan/osl/ (libosl). Adu's command line parser and the interactive help are generated by http://www.gnu.org/software/gengetopt/gengetopt.html (gnu gengetopt). Hence the gengetopt package must be installed to compile adu from source. In order to generate the man page, ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/help2man (help2man) must be installed. For the html version of the man page, http://www.triptico.com/software/grutatxt.html (grutatxt) is used.
