Parsing compilation errors and automatic resolving

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

I'm not much of a developer, but if the application you are trying to
compile is a C/C++ program (i also used this method to find Perl missing
library's), you can grep through all the .C/.h files for the '#include'
lines and extract the needed library's which are needed for the application
to run. then you can use the distro manager to locate the packages which
provides the necessary files.

In Fedora i use yum/dnf provides "*/xyz.h" and on Debian based distro you
have apt-file search
