I have recently started working on some open source project which I found relevant to my interests.

During this initiation period I came across some terminologies/stuff that I am not acquainted with, like configure, tool chain, binutils, etc. which I agree depends upon the type of project you are working on.

Now my question is, are there some bare requirements a developer should know before starting to work on the project?

Any help/reference will be greatly appreciated.

EDIT:

I have seen the GNU configure and build system in most of the projects I have seen.
If someone bothers about it “The GNU configure and build system” is a good place to start.

    If it’s a pre-existing one, you’ll need to read their development docs (if any), learn how to use their version control system, and have the requisite tools for building the code and running it.

    If you have all that, and the knowledge of the code/language, then you just need enthusiasm and some spare time 🙂
