+  <para>
+   You need a C++ compiler to compile and use YAZ++.
+   The software was implemented using GCC so we know that works
+   well with YAZ++. From time to time the software has been
+   compiled on Windows using Visual C++. Other compilers should
+   work too. Let us know of portability problems, etc. with
+   your system!
+  </para>
+  <para>
+   YAZ++ is built on top of the 
+   <ulink url="http://indexdata.dk/yaz/">YAZ</ulink>
+   toolkit.
+   You need to install that first.
+   For some platforms there are binary packages for YAZ.
+  </para>
+  <section id="unix">
+   <title>UNIX</title>
+   <para>On UNIX, the software is compiled as follows:
+    <screen>
+     ./configure
+     make
+     su
+     make install
+    </screen>
+   </para>
+   <para>
+    You can supply options for the configure script.
+    The most useful ones are:
+    <variablelist>
+     <varlistentry>
+      <term><literal>--prefix </literal>directory</term>
+      <listitem><para>
+        Specifies installation prefix. By default
+        <literal>/usr/local</literal> is used.
+       </para></listitem>
+     </varlistentry>
+     <varlistentry>
+      <term><literal>--with-yazconfig </literal>directory</term>
+      <listitem><para>
+        Specifies location of <filename>yaz-config</filename>.
+        The <filename>yaz-config</filename> is generated in
+        the source directory of YAZ as well as the binaries
+        directory when YAZ is installed (via make install).
+        </para>
+       <para>
+        If you don't supply this option, configure, will
+        look for <filename>yaz-config</filename> in directories of the
+        <literal>PATH</literal> environment.
+       </para></listitem>
+     </varlistentry>
+    </variablelist>
+    For the whole list of configure options, refer to the help:
+    <literal>./configure --help</literal>.
