 This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution.
 
-Please use "make menuconfig" to choose your preferred
-configuration for the toolchain and firmware.
+To build your own firmware you need a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case
+sensitive filesystem required)  Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack
+of a case sensitive file system.
 
-You need to have installed gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl, make,
-find, grep, diff, unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers.

-Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to get all the latest package definitions
-defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively
-and "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks of all of them into
-package/feeds/.
+1. Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to obtain all the latest package definitions
+defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default
 
-Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image.
+2. Run "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks for all obtained
+packages into package/feeds/
 
-Simply running "make" will build your firmware.
-It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain, 
-the kernel and all choosen applications.
