If you want to rebuild PuTTY from source, we provide a variety of
-Makefiles and equivalents.
+Makefiles and equivalents. (If you have fetched the source from CVS,
+you'll have to generate the Makefiles yourself -- see below.)
For building on Windows:
on Linux so far; portability problems such as BSD-style ptys or
different header file requirements are expected.
+ There is an `install' target; note that by default it tries to
+ install `man' pages, which need to be built using Halibut first --
+ see below.
+
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.
+Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
+`man' pages) is to be built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the
+`doc' subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. Halibut can be found at
+<http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
