+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.
+
+
+────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+CUSTOMISED INSTALLATION
+────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+
+You can select freely what parts of the package to install and not
+to install. This rules are available:
