+Bootstrapping VLC
+=================
+
+If you retrieved VLC from the SVN server and do not have a "configure"
+script, please refer to the HACKING file.
 
 Configuring VLC
 ===============
 
 A typical way to configure VLC is:
 
-   ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome
+   ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-wxwidgets
 
 See `./configure --help' for more information.
 
 If you intend to debug stuff, you may want to compile with debugging
 symbols:
 
-   make distclean ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome --enable-debug
+   make distclean ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-wxwidgets --enable-debug
+
+We recommend using GCC (versions 3.3 or later) to build VLC, though some
+people reported success with the Intel C compiler (version 8) as well. As of
+VLC version 0.9.0, GCC 2.95 is not supported anymore; if this is the default
+compiler on your system (e.g. FreeBSD 4.x), please select a more recent
+version manually by setting the CC and CXX environment variables
+appropriately while running the ./configure shell script.
