 Compilation
 ===========
 
-This archive contains a single C module called gtkmodule.  It contains
-an almost direct mapping of the functions in GTK including GTK signal
-handling, and the gtk_object_new/gtk_object_set commands.  This
-version REQUIRES gtk+-1.2.6 or later, as it includes support for
-features not found in previous versions, and there are
-incompatibilities between versions.  Also if you want the GdkImlib
-extension, you must have Imlib version 1.8 or greater.  I recommend
-getting the latest stable versions of these libraries before compiling
-pygtk, as it will make your system more stable.
-
-Parts of this module are automatically generated from the .defs file
-in the generate directory, by the two python scripts in that
-directory.
-
-To compile gtkmodule, first run "./configure" from the base directory
-of the distribution.  It requires that you have python in the path,
-and python has been installed properly.  If python is not in the path,
-you could try running "PYTHON=/subdir/python ./configure".  This
-should generate the Makefile from the file Makefile.in.
-
-Now you should be able to run "make" to compile the module.  Now you
-should install the files.  I have provided an install target to the
-makefile, so you should be able to just type "make install".  It
-installs to the site-packages directory (using prefix and exec_prefix
-where appropriate).  It also compiles .pyc and .pyo files from the
-python code.
-
-If you have trouble with building or installing any of the code, please
-tell me -- it is the only way I can fix the problem.  If you do mail me,
-please put something sensible in the subject line so I can tell what it
-is about.
+PyGTK uses the standard autotools for the build infrastructure.  To
+build, it should be as simple as running:
+
+    $ ./configure --prefix=<prefix where python is installed>
+    $ make
+    $ make install
+
+If your Python interpreter isn't in the path, or is not called
+"python", you can set the PYTHON environment variable to the full path
+of the interpreter:
+
+    $ PYTHON=/prefix/bin/python
+    $ export PYTHON
+
+If configure can't find GTK, you may need to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
+environment variable to help it find the libraries.
+
+The "make install" target will generate normal and optimised bytecode
+for all the .py files.
+
+As an alternative, pygtk also ships with a distutils setup.py script,
+that may make compilation easier on some platforms.
