## Requirements & limits

- Source builds require a C compiler, make, pkg-config, GLib 2.34+ and Python 3.2+; Git builds additionally need Autoconf, Automake and Libtool. A client supplies captured signal data.
- The library and its integral decoders use GPLv3-or-later. Git snapshots have no stable-API guarantee; the README recommends release tarballs for distribution packaging.
