Prerequisites: needed to setup deb-src repositories on Ubuntu #10

Thanks for making this dev kit!

When installing on Ubuntu 16.04, I'd get this error on the prerequisites: Unable to find a source package for gcc-5 (and sdcc).

To get past this, I needed to go to /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment all the deb-src repos. Not sure exactly which one I needed so I just uncommented all of them. Then apt update.

After doing that the dev kit installed without a hitch.

I figured I'd at least file an issue here in case other Ubuntu users hit this. I'm also happy to send a PR updating the README if you like.

I see this is mentioned in the WSL readme: https://github.com/dciabrin/ngdevkit/blob/master/README-mingw.md#configure-the-package-repositories

Hey city41, sorry I overlooked your issue,

It seems that you opened #12 that provides a fix that would work for that issue as well?

I haven't got time to run bootstrap the devkit on either of those Ubuntu distro, but will do that shortly and report accordingly

I mostly filed this and #12 in case other Ubuntu users have the same issue. Figure they’d find these and get unblocked. No real action is needed I don’t think.

Closing this one now as I believe the latest version of README-mingw.md has the explanation requested. Don't hesitate to re-open if I'm wrong.
