On top of the usual Makefile we have a simple bash script called /linux/build that calls the compiler passing all the source files in one go and produces the binary (instead of generating a bunch of .o files and then linking them together as the Makefile does).

This works well, except that it doesn't check for dependencies. It works or not, and if it fails it doesn't provide any explanation, such as the OCR library not being present.

Job is to improve this build script so that it checks if the requirements are met and if not, offer details.
