+vor requires the following libraries to build/run:
+
+* sdl http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php
+* sdl_mixer http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/
+* sdl_image http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/
+
+If you are building from git, (or editing the graphics) you will also
+need:
+
+ autoconf version 2.63 or greater
+
+You'll also need the graphics (`data` subdir) from the tarbal, or the following
+packages to render the graphics:
+
+ povray http://www.povray.org/
+ netpbm http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/

+
+Building From A Release Tarball
+-------------------------------
+
+(See Building From Git below if you don't have a release tarball)
+
+change to the source directory and run this:
+
+./configure && make
+
+Unless there are errors, you should be able to run the game from the
+source directory like this:
+
+./vor
+
+
+Building From Git
+-----------------
+
+1. Make sure you have the extra dependencies first. If you want to avoid
+ installing povray and/or netpbm, you can simply copy the data/ directory
+ from a recent release.
+
+2. Run ``autoreconf``
+
+3. Continue as normal with the Building From A Release Tarball section above.
+
+
+Building For Windows
+--------------------
+
+These instructions should work on most any modern GNU/Linux system, and maybe
+other Unix-like systems.
+
+1. Download MXE (and install its dependencies) by following just step 1 of
+ this tutorial:
