 This is the contrib build system for VLC Media Player. It has been
-primarily developed for Mac OS X, though it should be easy to adapt to
-other operating systems.
+primarily developed for Mac, it has been adapted for BeOs and win32.
+It would be not too difficult to extend it to other sytem.
 
 To use it, first in the contrib directory, type :
        ./bootstrap
 
+You can specify an argument to cross compile, for example:
+    ./bootstrap i586-pc-beos
+This will look for a i586-pc-beos-gcc cross compiler. Default is to
+build natively.
+
+Bootstrap generates your default contrib configuration and puts it in a file
+named 'distro.mak'. Edit this file to fine-tune your preferences for 3rd-party
+libraries that will be build in the contrib system.
+
 Customize config.mak if you need to, then you need to choose between
 building from source (can take a long time but is easily customizable)
 and fetching a pre-compiled binary package. Either type 'make src'

 Once the contribs are built, you can start building VLC.

 Happy hacking.

+Appendix: 
+ I) BUILDING AMR SUPPORT IN FFMPEG
+
+To build ffmpeg with AMR support add HAVE_AMR=1 to config.mak or do:
+
+echo "HAVE_AMR=1" >> config.mak
+
+and add .libamrwb .libamrnb (before .ffmpeg) to your distro.mak. Then rebuild the contrib with: 
+
+make src
