+Build scripts
+=============
+
+Depending on platform the build process is run with
+build.sh
+or
+build.bat
+
+
+Arguments: PLATFORM SYSTEM COMPILER {TARGET} {definitions}
+
+PLATFORM: win / lnx / mac
+SYSTEM:   pd / max
+COMPILER: msvc / gcc / mingw / cygwin / bcc / icc
+
+TARGET: (default is all)
+	all, build - build package in default style
+	install - install package
+	clean - clean build products
+
+	config - test if configuration needs refreshing
+
+or
+	build-MODE-TYPE
+	install-MODE-TYPE
+	clean-MODE-TYPE
+
+with
+	MODE: default, all, release, debug
+	TYPE: default, all, single, multi, shared
+
+
+Additional definitions can be passed to the make program
+like
+	"PKGINFO=info.txt"   (defines new filename for package information)
+or
+	"PKGINFO="           (package information will be skipped - only for config target)
+
+For more macro names, see below
+
+
+For each of the supported combinations of PLATFORM, SYSTEM and COMPILER 
+a MAKE program has been chosen, normally the one that comes with the compiler.
+
+For gcc it is GNU make (gnumake)
+For msvc it is Microsoft make (nmake)
+For bcc it is Borland make (bmake)
+
+
+
+Package info (package.txt)
+==========================
+
+Package information contains vital information for the build process.
+Obligatory are only:
+
+NAME: resulting filename of the build product
+SRCS: list of source files
+
+
+Normally also used are:
+
+HDRS: used header files, which SRCS files are dependent upon
+SRCDIR: source folder (relative to project folder), default is .
+
+
+Other settings:
+
+PRECOMPILE: prefix header file (in SRCDIR) for all source files, 
+	will be precompiled if supported by the compiler
+
+BUILDCLASS: can currently be flext or ext, default is ext.
+	flext will build the flext system
+	ext will build a flext-based external
+
+BUILDMODE: release or debug, default is release
+	if release, optimization flags will be used
+	if debug, debug information will be generated
+
+BUILDTYPE: single, multi or shared, default is single
+	if single, it will be linked against the single-threaded static flext library
+	if multi, it will be linked against the multi-threaded static flext library
+	if shared, it will be linked against the shared flext library
+
+BUILDDIR: relative folder with additional build settings
+
+
+
+Additional build settings (BUILDDIR)
+====================================
+
+If BUILDDIR is defined, all PLATFORM-SYSTEM-COMPILER combinations to support
+must are mirrored by the respective .def and .inc files in the BUILDDIR.
+
+
+config-PLATFORM.def files (e.g. config-lnx.def) :
+
+	These files can contain additional macro definitions, that are private
+	to the project.
+	The definitions should be strictly in the form SETTING=value, without any
+	make-specific macros etc.
+	The .def files work as templates that get copied to a user-editable 
+	config.txt file when the build process is first started.
+
+
+MAKE-PLATFORM-COMPILER.inc files 
+(e.g. gnumake-lnx-gcc.inc or nmake-win-msvc.inc):
+
+	These files (which are no considered to be edited by the user) can contain 
+	specific modifications to compiler flags, include file paths etc.
+
+	For gnumake this would e.g. be
+	INCPATH += -I/usr/local/include/python2.3
+
+	for nmake or bmake e.g.
+	INCPATH = $(INCPATH) -I"c:\program files\Python2.3\include"
+
+
+Structure of build system
+=========================
+
+The build system has several levels of information, which are evaluated in the
+following order (see also buildsys/MAKE-sub.mak)
+
+Project level:
+- PKGINFO file (e.g. package.txt)
+- USRCONFIG file (e.g. config.txt)
+- USRMAKE file (e.g. build/gnumake-lnx-gcc.inc)
+
+General definitions (in buildsys):
+
+- MAKE.inc (e.g. buildsys/gnumake.inc)
+	contains evaluation of flext library name, build directory etc.
+- MAKE-BUILDCLASS.inc (e.g. buildsys/gnumake-ext.inc)
+	contains some more flag settings
+
+Real-time-system-dependent definitions (in buildsys/PLATFORM/SYSTEM):
+
+- MAKE-COMPILER.inc (e.g. buildsys/lnx/pd/gnumake-gcc.inc)
+	contains general real-time-system dependent info (e.g. paths, FLEXT_SYS setting)
+- MAKE-COMPILER-BUILDCLASS.inc (e.g. buildsys/lnx/pd/gnumake-gcc-ext.inc)
+	contains specific real-time-system dependent info (e.g. extension of binary)
+
+Platform-dependent definitions (in buildsys/PLATFORM):
+
+- MAKE-COMPILER.inc (e.g. buildsys/lnx/gnumake-gcc.inc)
+	contains general platform-specific flags
+- MAKE-COMPILER-BUILDCLASS.inc (e.g. buildsys/lnx/gnumake-gcc-ext.inc)
+	contains the actual make targets (_build_,_clean_ and _install_)
+
+
+Macro names
+===============
+
+PKGINFO - filename for package information (must reside in project folder)
+
+CFLAGS - compiler flags
+LDFLAGS - linker flags
+
+INCPATH - include file path (must come with e.g. -I )
+LIBPATH - library path (must come with e.g. -L )
+
+LIBS - libraries to link in (must come with e.g. -l )
