 ## Build Instructions
 
-For GCC (including MinGW) there are two methods building: via normal
-makefiles or via GYP. GYP is a meta-build system which can generate MSVS,
-Makefile, and XCode backends. It is best used for integration into other
-projects.  The old system is using plain GNU Makefiles.

-To build via Makefile simply execute:
+To build with autotools:
 
-    make
+    $ sh autogen.sh
+    $ ./configure
+    $ make
+    $ make check
+    $ make install
 
-MinGW users should run this instead:
-
-    make PLATFORM=mingw
-
-Out-of-tree builds are supported:
-
-    make builddir_name=/path/to/builddir
-
 To build with Visual Studio run the vcbuild.bat file which will
 checkout the GYP code into build/gyp and generate the uv.sln and
 related files.
 
-Windows users can also build from cmd-line using msbuild.  This is
-done by running vcbuild.bat from Visual Studio command prompt.

 To have GYP generate build script for another system, make sure that
 you have Python 2.6 or 2.7 installed, then checkout GYP into the
 project tree manually:
 
-    mkdir -p build
-    svn co http://gyp.googlecode.com/svn/trunk build/gyp
+    $ mkdir -p build
+    $ git clone https://git.chromium.org/external/gyp.git build/gyp
 
-Or:
+Unix users run:
 
-    mkdir -p build
-    git clone https://git.chromium.org/external/gyp.git build/gyp
+    $ ./gyp_uv -f make
+    $ make -C out
 
-Unix users run
+Macintosh users run:
 
-    ./gyp_uv -f make
-    make -C out
+    $ ./gyp_uv -f xcode

 Note for UNIX users: compile your project with `-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE` and
 `-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64`. GYP builds take care of that automatically.
 
-Note for Linux users: compile your project with `-D_GNU_SOURCE` when you
-include `uv.h`. GYP builds take care of that automatically. If you use
-autotools, add a `AC_GNU_SOURCE` declaration to your `configure.ac`.
