Building
--------
-Just type 'make' and 'make install'.
+Just type 'configure', 'make' and 'make install'.
Note that GNU make is required. On BSD it's available from devel/gmake;
on Solaris it's in the SUNWgmake package. On platforms where GNU make
isn't the default, type 'gmake' instead of 'make'.
-If your compile fails with an error like this:
+Configure will print the enabled options. Note that on Linux based
+platforms, you'll need to have the libaio development packages
+installed to use the libaio engine. Depending on distro, it is
+usually called libaio-devel or libaio-dev.

+For gfio, you need gtk 2.18 or newer and associated glib threads
+and cairo. gfio isn't built automatically, it needs to be enabled
+with a --enable-gfio option to configure.
-Check that you have the libaio development package installed. On RPM
-based distros, it's typically called libaio-devel.
+To build FIO with a cross-compiler:
+ $ make clean
+ $ make CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain/prefix
+Configure will attempt to determine the target platform automatically.
