Should be something like: "Development headers and libraries for glibc and Freeimage. You'll also need a C/C++ compiler and linker such as GCC".
Possibly add a debian example: "Example (debian): sudo apt-get install build-essential libfreeimage-dev" [untested, not a debian user myself but I do realize that especially debain users need help with this..]

A lot of linux users start with an ubuntu based distro, so as a result,
most "beginners" use ubuntu/debian. I think we should start getting a
little more beginner friendly if we want linux to be more popular, and not
ridicule them.

Just run `make` (if you have to choose between 32 and 64 bit, run `make
ARCH=i686` or `make ARCH=x86_64`). `Makefile.mingw` is the Makefile for 32-bit
Windows.
