+Building
+--------
+
+See INSTALL for information on how to build LMMS.
+
+Please also take a look at
+
+./configure --help
+
+There you'll see a lot of options which partly might be interesting for you.
+For example if you want to build LMMS with VST-support, you have to run
+configure with --with-vst switch. Otherwise LMMS support won't be built!
