Build Instructions
-GNU make is required to build asdcplib. The makefile will work
-on win32 systems that have Cygwin and MSVC. Other win32 gmake
-packages may or may not work depending upon the availability
-of standard POSIX shell commands. You will need gcc to rebuild
-the dep.make file. Alternatively, a native MSVC build file
-and instructions can be found in the win32 subdirectory.
+On more-or-less POSIX systems (OS X, Linux, and BSD), GNU make is
+required to build asdcplib. The same configure script will also
+build this package on Windows machines with Cygwin and
+MinGW installed. For those Windows users who would prefer to build
+this natively, an "nmake" build file and instructions can be found
+in the win32 subdirectory.
OpenSSL is also required. See http://www.openssl.org/
-If you are building on win32 or a unix with no OpenSSL library
-support, you will have to also obtain and build OpenSSL. Unpack
-it into the same parent directory as asdcplib/, and rename (or make
-a symlink to) the directory as 'openssl':
+Optional support for writing Timed Text Track Files is supported by
+either Xerces-C or Expat. See http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/ or
+http://expat.sourceforge.net/ for source and build instructions.

+To configure and build, type './configure' followed by 'make'. There
+are several test targets on the POSIX side, but you need to assemble
+a set of test files to use them.
