+ $ make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-ggdb3
+
+The build utilizes autotools, dependencies for generating the configure
+scripts are:
+
+* autconf, autoheader
+* automake, aclocal
+* pkg-config
+
+
+Statically built binaries
+-------------------------
+
+The makefiles are ready to let you build static binaries of the utilities. This
+may be handy in rescue environments. Your system has to provide static version
+of the libraries.
+
+ $ make static
+ $ make btrfs.static
+ $ make btrfs-convert.static
+
+The resulting binaries have the '.static' suffix, the intermediate object
+files do not conflict with the normal (dynamic) build.
