+Building GHDL from sources:
+***************************
+
+Required:
+* the sources of @GCCVERSION@ (at least the core part).
+  Note: other versions of gcc sources have not been tested.
+* the Ada95 GNAT compiler (only GNAT v3.15p is known to work).
+* GNU/Linux for ix86 (pc systems) (porting is necessary for other systems)
+
+Procedure:
+* untar the gcc tarball
+* untar the ghdl tarball (this sould have been done, since you are reading a
+  file from it).
+* move or copy the vhdl directory of ghdl into the gcc subdirectory of
+  the gcc distribution.
+  You should have a @GCCVERSION@/gcc/vhdl directory.
+* configure gcc with the --enable-languages=vhdl option.  You may of course
+  add other languages.
+  Refer to the gcc installation documentation.
+* compile gcc.
+  'make CFLAGS="-O"' is OK (gcc 2.8.1 bugs with -O2 on some files).
+* install gcc.  This installs the ghdl driver too.
+  'make install' is OK.
+
+Send bugs and comments to ghdl@free.fr.
+If you cannot compile, please report the gcc version, GNAT version and gcc
+source version.
+
+Tristan Gingold.
