Getting all the (huge!) sources and dependencies is the most worrisome
part to me. Not that most people care anyways, it's just tedious
(especially since these will only cross-build).

The README.1ST or Zip Picker should give you some idea.

Long story short, you don't need much beyond DJDEV*, BNU*, GCC* (and
probably MAK*) for bare minimum. Add GPP* for C++. (Maybe add a
third-party lib like PDCurses or FSU Pthreads or Allegro or Zlib, if
you really want.)

Everything else is optional. Bison and Flex aren't needed by 90% of
things or people. Even GDB is technically optional (although
RHIDE/RHGDB is obsolete and too old to be much use anymore). TexInfo
is just for documentation, and while somewhat useful, you can do
without (since it's just plain text with hints for navigation) or use
(huge!) GNU Emacs.
