simplify install dependencies

I second this motion. @dominictarr Toss up a PR -- I'm going to see about the windows build process issue.

[paixaop]

please refer to #51

sorry, I did not include enough detail in my issue. I should have said that automake is a problem building on osx. but as i look deeper into it, i see that automake is a part of libsodium, not node-sodium, so is harder to remove.

automake (and other autotools) are not needed to build Sodium. Releases tarballs have all the required script already built.

[paixaop]

Correct. Lib sodium uses automake. But on osx you can easily install the toolset with 'brew install automake'

Right now libaodium is statically linked into nose sodium so can't use the release versions.
If you add support for dynamic link I will integrate it.

automake is not needed, even on OSX.

[dominictarr]

without automake, you get an error cannot find "libtoolize"

from this script, which is run on build.
https://github.com/paixaop/node-sodium/blob/master/deps/libsodium/autogen.sh#L7-L16

is there a way around that?

Do not use the development code in Git!

Use the release tarballs, available here and here (the .tar.gz files, not the zip files).

You don't need to run autogen.sh.
