+===============================================================================
+Compiling and installing Rocks'n'Diamonds
+===============================================================================
 
-WHAT TO DO TO INSTALL "ROCKS_N_DIAMONDS-0.9" ON YOUR SYSTEM
-===========================================================
+To compile the game, you either need the new SDL2 library (recommended) or the
+old SDL 1.2 library. In addition, you also need the libraries SDL_image,
+SDL_mixer (including the SMPEG library if you want MP3 support) and SDL_net.
 
-If you have a Linux system (Intel based, a.out, kernel 1.2.x), you
-can use the precompiled binary.
+Please install these libraries before building Rocks'n'Diamonds.
 
-If you have another Unix system, or an ELF system or just want to
-compile the program by yourself, do the following:
 
-Edit the file "Makefile" and set the following options:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Linux and other Unix systems (including Mac OS X):
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-XPM_INCLUDE_FILE	-	change this to the location where you
-				have your XPM-Library include file.
+Just run "make" to build the game using either SDL2 or SDL (whatever being
+available).
 
-				You must have the XPM-Library "libXpm"
-				installed on your system to run this game.
-				If you don't have it, look at your local
-				FTP site with X11 archive to get it! :)
+Run "make sdl" or "make sdl2" to explicitly use either SDL 1.2 or SDL2.
 
-GAME_DIR		-	You can leave these values untouched
-				if you use the default location for
-				the game directory.
-				If you want to move it to other places in
-				your directory tree, just change them
-				accordingly. (You can use symlinks instead,
-				of course.)
-				You might want to set GAME_DIR to the full
-				path of the game in your file system, so
-				you don't have to go to the game directory
-				when you want to play it.
 
-SOUNDS			-	If you never want to hear any sounds,
-				set this to "-DNO_SOUNDS", but be warned:
-				It's much less fun playing without sound! :)
-				(The program detects by itself if it can
-				play sounds or not, anyway.)
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Windows with gcc (native or cross-compiling)
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-SCORE_ENTRIES		-	Set this to "-DONE_PER_NAME" if you want
-				to allow only one entry per player in the
-				score file for each level. This is useful
-				if there are many players to prevent one
-				single player to "flood" the Hall Of Fame
-				of every level completely with his name...
-				On single user systems, "-DMANY_PER_NAME"
-				might be useful to have your name more
-				than once in the list.
+To build the game natively, just proceed as described above for Unix systems.
 
-SYSTEM			-	If you have problems with the default
-				settings, it might be useful to uncomment
-				one of the defines for "SYSTEM" in the
-				Makefile, which defines values like
-				"-DSYSV" and something like that.
+To cross-compile the game for Windows, run "cross-win32". You probably have to
+adjust the path to the Windows cross-compiler defined in "CROSS_PATH_WIN32" in
+the top-level Makefile.
 
-CC, INCL, LIBS		-	Set these ones to the appropriate values
-				you usually use on your system to compile.
 
+That's all!
 
-Now you can 'make clean' and 'make' and the game binary should be
-compiled right out of the box. I have tested it with "-Wall" on my
-system, so I hope that it compiles fine on other systems, too.
-
-The program should compile and run on Linux (of course),
-HP-UX, AIX, Net-BSD, SUN and IRIX.
-
-Have fun!
