up vote 0 down vote accepted  build_essential to start with.
Then you can install necessary dependancies/support libraries
based off apt-get build-dep, or the error messages from
./configure.  If you want to grow together a quick and dirty deb
for install, use checkinstall instead of make install
share|improve this answer  Do you want to make a "make file" or
compile it?  If it's for writing a make file: gedit or your
preferred editor.  If it's for compilation, it's easy: gcc, g++,
make, devtools (or maybe dev-tools or development-tools).
