-Building a compiler
-
-- The Win32 native version of XWT can ONLY be built with the very
- latest pre-release of GCC 3.1. You can follow the steps below to
- create a cross-compiler from linux to Win32.
-
- If the steps below fail, try adding "-D 20-Mar-2002" to the cvs
- checkout line; 20-Mar-2002 was the last date on which the compiler
- was known to work. Please don't do this unless you have attempted
- without it, however, since it puts additional strain on the gcc cvs
- server.

+Build Requirements
+
+**** STOP! ****
+
+Compiling the engine is Really Hard. Unless you're planning on
+helping develop the engine, you probably don't need (or want) to
+compile it yourself!
+
+There are pre-built, digitally signed binaries on http://dist.xwt.org/
+for every supported platform. Please consider using those unless
+you're absolutely certain you need to go through the trouble of trying
+to get XWT to build. You have been warned. Please do not post to the
+mailing lists asking for help building XWT unless you're genuinely
+interested in helping to develop the engine.
+
+Requirements:
+ - jdk 1.4+
+ - the standard set of POSIX utilities (wc, grep, find, make, etc)
+
+Automatically-Downloaded components:
+ - gcj 3.3+
+ - binutils 2.13+
+ * If you already have a suitably configured gcj 3.3 and binutils
+ 2.13+ you can set "gcc_path" to point at its installation
+ location; otherwise the Makefile will download, configure,
+ compile, and install gcc and binutils in xwt/gcc/
+
+Optional components:
+ - fastjar (builds archives faster)
+ - jikes 1.18 (makes builds go much faster)
+ * If jikes is in your $PATH, the Makefile will find and use it.
+ Otherwise you can type 'make jikes' to download and build jikes.
+
+Build Targets:
+ - compile: compiles all .java files into bin/*.class
+ - Win32: Win95 OSR2 or later
+ - Linux: Linux 2.2 or later
+ - Java2: Any Java 1.2+ compliant JVM
+ - Darwin: Any Darwin-based OS (Mac OS X, OpenDarwin) with an X11 server
+ - clean: cleanup
