+For most users the following should be sufficient:
+
+	make
+	make install DESTDIR="pkg"  # install to ./pkg temporarily instead
+	                            # of to /, installed files can then be
+	                            # moved by root.
+
+Note however, `make install` will not run `install-info'
+to add the info manual to `info '(dir)'`. Distributors
+should postinstall and preuninstall commands:
+
+	infodir="usr/share/info"
+	
+	post_install() {
+	  install-info -- "${infodir}/scrotty.info" "${infodir}/dir"
+	}
+	
+	post_upgrade() {
+	  post_install "$1"
+	}
+	
+	pre_uninstall() {
+	  install-info --delete -- "${infodir}/scrotty.info" "${infodir}/dir"
+	}
+
+If you want to install absolutely everything, you can
+instead use the commands below:
+
+	make everything
+	make install-everything DESTDIR="pkg"
+
+Or if you only want to absolute basics:
+
+	make base
+	make install-base DESTDIR="pkg"
+
+

+INTERNATIONALISATION
+────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+
+If you want to do not want internationalisation build and install
+with WITHOUT_GETTEXT=1. For example:
+
+	make base WITHOUT_GETTEXT=1
+	make install-base WITHOUT_GETTEXT=1 DESTDIR="pkg"
+
+You can also chose to restrict the locales to install:
+
+	make all LOCALES=sv
+	make install LOCALES=sv DESTDIR="pkg"
+

+CUSTOMISED COMPILATION
+────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+
+If you do not have GCC, you may want to set WARN to an empty string:
+
+	make WARN=
+
+The makefile is configured to compile the C code with -O2, you can
+change this by setting OPTIMISE:
+
+	make OPTIMISE="-Og -g"
+
+If you want to build the package with another prefix the /usr, set
+PREFIX:
+
+	make PREFIX=/usr/local
+
+See the beginning of the Makefile for further file system hierarchy
+customisations. These changes, including PREFIX, should be used both
+when compiling and installing.
