 echo "The Ecere cross-platform SDK is pre-configured. Just type:
 
-		mingw32-make; if you're on Microsoft® Windows™
-				(You need MinGW: http://www.mingw.org/)
+ Linux:      make
 
-      If you're on Apple® Mac™ OS X™, first add your toolchain bin directory
-      to the path and set SYSROOT to the SDK directory. e.g. with Xcode 4.5.2:
+ FreeBSD:    gmake
 
-		export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin
-      export SYSROOT=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk
-      make;
-				(Lion™/Xcode™ 4.5.2 recommended)
-            Also tested on Mavericks with XCode 5, but debugger integration will not work without GDB.
+ Windows:    mingw32-make
 
-      It's also recommended to install XQuartz.
+   You need MinGW or MinGW-w64. We recommend TDM-GCC.
+   For best results, use the version bundled with the latest Ecere installer for Windows.
+           ( http://ecere.org/install/windows )
 
+ OS X:
 
-or simply	make;  if you are on GNU/Linux™
+   First add your toolchain bin directory to the path and set SYSROOT to the SDK directory. e.g. with Xcode 5.1.1:
 
+   export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin
+   export SYSROOT=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk
 
-The SDK can probably be built on BSD and other Unixes with some additional
-jiggery-pokery."
+   make
+
+   Last tested on OS X™ Mavericks with XCode 5.1.1.
+   Please note that debugger integration only supports GDB and will not work with LLDB. It's also recommended to install XQuartz.
+
+ Other UNIX systems:
+
+   Given various degrees of efforts, it should be possible to build on other UNIX platforms. You will need a recent version of GNU Make (gmake).
+   GCC or Clang is required for your C compiler. (TCC might work too)
+   X86, AMD64, PowerPC, 32 bit ARM architectures are all known to work.
+   Some assumptions about the C types are currently made. (e.g. char: signed 1 byte, int: 4 bytes, float: 4 bytes, double: 8 bytes)
+   If your platform offers no way to conform to these assumptions, there would be a lot of code to reconsider.
+
+   Please get in touch with us for help or to coordinate efforts improving platform support.
