Playrec Compilation on Linux - pavhofman/nonlinear-compensation GitHub Wiki

• Tested on Ubuntu Xenial/Mint 18, Bionic/Mint 19, Ubuntu 20.04 - should work for any debian-based distribution. When build tools are installed (equivalent to the meta package build-essential in debian), it should work on any linux distro.
