+For building on Windows:
+
+ - Makefile.vc is for command-line builds on MS Visual C++ systems.
+ Type `nmake -f Makefile.vc' to build all the PuTTY binaries.
+
+ (We've also had one report of success building with the
+ OpenWatcom compiler -- www.openwatcom.org -- using Makefile.vc
+ with `wmake -ms -f makefile.vc' and NO_MULTIMON, although we
+ haven't tried this ourselves.)
+
+ - Inside the MSVC subdirectory are MS Visual Studio project files
+ for doing GUI-based builds of the various PuTTY utilities. These
+ have been tested on Visual Studio 6.
+
+ You should be able to build each PuTTY utility by loading the
+ corresponding .dsp file in Visual Studio. For example,
+ MSVC/putty/putty.dsp builds PuTTY itself, MSVC/plink/plink.dsp
+ builds Plink, and so on.
+
+ - Makefile.bor is for the Borland C compiler. Type `make -f
+ Makefile.bor' to build all the PuTTY binaries.
+
+ - Makefile.cyg is for Cygwin / mingw32 installations. Type `make -f
+ Makefile.cyg' to build all the PuTTY binaries. Note that by
+ default the Pageant WinNT security features and the multiple
+ monitor support are excluded from the Cygwin build, since at the
+ time of writing this Cygwin doesn't include the necessary
+ headers.
+
+ - Makefile.lcc is for lcc-win32. Type `make -f Makefile.lcc'. (You
+ will probably need to specify COMPAT=-DNO_MULTIMON.)
+
+For building on Unix:
+
+ - unix/Makefile.gtk is for Unix and GTK. If you don't have GTK, you
+ should still be able to build the command-line utilities (PSCP,
+ PSFTP, Plink, PuTTYgen) using this makefile. The makefile expects
+ you to change into the `unix' subdirectory, then run `make -f
+ Makefile.gtk'. Note that Unix PuTTY has mostly only been tested
+ on Linux so far; portability problems such as BSD-style ptys or
+ different header file requirements are expected.
+
+All of the Makefiles are generated automatically from the file
+`Recipe' by the Perl script `mkfiles.pl'. Additions and corrections
+to Recipe and the mkfiles.pl are much more useful than additions and
+corrections to the alternative Makefiles themselves.
