Development Build Workflow Questions

I have checked the code out and am trying to build a-shell so that I can contribute to this project. (I want to make the cursor blinking a setting and I'm sure more things as time goes along.)

When I first checked out the project I was getting a bunch of compile errors that ended up being due to needing a newer version of ios_system and after building a new ios_system from master they went away. There were also a bunch of missing frameworks and files that were needed at build time. I was able to locate most of the frameworks and then just removed a few that didn't seem critical for basic usage just to get through the build to make sure I tracked down any other major issues when it came to the build side of things.

I was going to start working on something that would go out to all the places that was needed to grab all the dependencies to make it easier to get started on development. I am new to the iOS_system ecosystem of libraries and such so forgive me if my ignorance shows too much on this side of things. Is there currently a way to get most or all the frameworks from the different projects that are included or is it basically just going around to each of them and downloading them? If that is the way that it is done then I'm OK with that I just wanted to make sure before I was aware of anything that might exist already before I get started on writing something.
