 INSTALL file for vlc, the VideoLAN Client
 
 
-Building VideoLAN
-=================
+Configuring VideoLAN
+====================
 
 A typical way to configure vlc is:
 
-   ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome --with-sdl
+   ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome
 
 See `./configure --help' for more information.
 
-Then, run `make' to build vlc.
+If you intend to debug stuff, you may want to compile with debugging
+symbols:
+
+   make distclean ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome --enable-debug
 
-Here is a shortcut to copy-paste for a complete build:
+It is also possible to cross-compile for the Win32 platform using mingw32:
 
-   make distclean 2>/dev/null ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome \
-      --enable-fb --with-glide --with-ggi --with-sdl --enable-esd \
-      --enable-alsa --enable-mga --enable-gtk --enable-qt --enable-xvideo \
-   && make
+   make distclean ; CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc CFLAGS=-I/usr/i586-mingw32msvc \
+   RANLIB=i586-mingw32msvc-ranlib WINDRES=i586-mingw32msvc-windres \
+   ./configure --host=i386-mingw32msvc --with-directx-path=<path> \
+   --with-sdl-config-path=<path> --with-gtk-config-path=<path>
 
-If you intend to debug stuff, you may want to disable optimizations:
 
-   make distclean 2>/dev/null ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome \
-      --enable-fb --with-glide --with-ggi --with-sdl --enable-esd \
-      --enable-alsa --enable-mga --enable-gtk --enable-qt --enable-xvideo \
-      --disable-optimizatons && make
+Building VideoLAN
+=================
+
+Have a look at the generated Makefile.opts file, you may want to choose
+which modules will be compiled as plugins, and which ones will remain in
+the core application. The configure script tries to guess for you.
+
+Once configured, run `make' to build vlc.
