 Requirements
 ============
 - XMMS version 1.2.0 or later (http://www.xmms.org/)
-- libsidplay 1.36.xx or later (preferably latest version)
-- Gtk+ and Glib 1.2.2 or later (http://www.gtk.org/)
+
+- Gtk+ and Glib 1.2.8 or later (http://www.gtk.org/)
+
+- C and C++-compiler. Preferably gcc and g++, I have
+  no idea whether this compiles with any other
+  compilers ... sorry.
+
+- You need either or both of the following:
+   * libsidplay1 v1.36.xx (or later version)
+   * libsidplay2 v2.0.7 (NO LATER OR EARLIER VERSIONS!)
+
+  NOTICE! You need at least v1 or v2, OR BOTH.
+
+
+Earlier versions may or may not work; you may try,
+but you'll need to edit configure.in for smaller
+version numbers and then run autogen.sh.

 ========================
-XMMS-SID requires the libsidplay to play the SID tunes
-(as XMMS-SID is just an "libsidplay interface for XMMS").

 You only need libsidplay, the sidplay-base is not necessary
 if you are sure that you don't need the commandline player.
 
-(NOTICE!!! XMMS-SID cannot use sidplay2 as it is completely
-different from sidplay v1!! Support may be added in future,
-however.)
+Where to get libSIDPlay2?
+=========================
+The library is available at SourceForge:
+
+http://sidplay2.sourceforge.net/
+
+NOTICE! Compiling sidplay2 may or may not be cumbersome,
+since it is still heavily under development. Take care.
 
 
-Installing xmms-sid
+Installing XMMS-SID
 ===================
+When you have the requirements installed and working
+succesfully, you can try compiling XMMS-SID.
+
+Invoke configure-script (use parameter --help for help)
+
+$ ./configure
 
-Simply run the following commands:
+
+If configure went without errors, try compilation:
 
-./configure
-make
-make install
+$ make
+
+If that went OK too, then you may try installation:
+
+# make install
 
 (Run "make install" as superuser/root if you are
 installing for the whole system.)
 
 
-Notes
-=====
-* If "configure" script is not present, run ./autogen.sh
-
-* The configure script uses xmms-config to guess the correct location
-  to install the plugin files (.so and .la). If you want to install them
-  to another place, run configure with --libdir=<path> option.
