+This is a library implementing the intermediate representation FIRM
+developed at IPD Goos, Uni Karlsruhe.
 
-Call make lib to construct the library.  This creates a file
-libfirm.a and extracts all necessary header files to ./include.
+Create an architecture dependent directory (eg 'mkdir i686-linux') an
+cd to it. Call ../configure with wanted features (see ../configure
+--help for more hints). Call 'make' to construct the library. This
+creates a file libfirm.a
 
-To test the library goto ./testprograms and make and run the
-test examples placed there:
+To test the library goto ./<arch>/testprograms and call 'make test'
+there.
 
-make lib
-cd testprograms
-make
-make run
+If you have set up the include and libdir using configure you can
+install the library and its headers by 'make install'.  This is
+encouraged if the library is hooked up to any other modules, e.g., a
+front end.
