     This is the freeglut package.
-    
+
     Freeglut, the Free openGL Utility Toolkit, is meant to be a free alter-
     native to Mark Kilgard's GLUT library. It is distributed under an X-Consor-
     tium style license (see COPYING for details), to offer you a chance to use 
     and/or modify the source.
-    
+
     It makes use of OpenGL, GLU, and pthreads-win32 libraries. The library does
     not make use of any GLUT code and is not 100% compatible. Code recompilation
     and/or slight modifications might be required for your applications to work
     with freeglut.

     INSTALLATION
     ============
 
-    See the INSTALL file.

+    Use the following commands to build from scratch on a *nix X11 platform:
+
+        autoheader
+        aclocal
+        libtoolize --copy --force
+        automake --add-missing
+        autoconf
+        ./configure
+        make
+
+    The first four of these commands are automated in a system script called
+    "autoreconf".

     does (tabs converted 4 white spaces). Comments are really welcome, as I 
     believe it would be nice for people fresh new to OpenGL see how the things
     are done...
