merton is still a work in progress so we are not publishing formal releases yet.
In order to build merton, you need to clone and build libmatoya side-by-side to this repo (the makefile will look for the libmatoya static library during linking).
Other than libmatoya, merton has no dependencies outside of what's shipped with the basic developer toolchains. Run make or nmake (on Windows) to output the binary.
