+Getting the source code
+-----------------------
+
+You can get the source code of each ATK release as a tarball:
-To configure ATK, run the ./configure script, then 'make'; and
-'make install'. If you are installing into a location where you don't have
-write permission, you'll have to become root before running
-'make install'.

-General information about building ATK and related libraries can
-be found at:
+You can also clone the ATK master branch from GNOME repository:
- http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html
+ https://git.gnome.org/browse/atk
-To compile a CVS version of atk on your system, you will need to take
-several steps to setup the tree for compilation. You can do all these
-steps at once by running:
+Building
+--------
+
+To buid ATK from a release tarball you can use Autotools:
- cvsroot/atk# ./autogen.sh
-
-Basically this does the following for you:
+ $ ./configure
+ $ make
+ # make install
- cvsroot/atk# aclocal; automake; autoconf
+Alternatively, you can use Meson and Ninja:
- The above commands create the "configure" script. Now you
- can run the configure script in cvsroot/atk to create all
- the Makefiles.
+ $ meson _build .
+ $ ninja -C _build
+ # ninja -C _build install
-Before running autogen.sh or configure, make sure you have libtool
-in your path.
+To build ATK from a Git clone using Autotools, run the autogen.sh script
+instead of the configure one; before running autogen.sh or configure, make
+sure you have libtool in your path. If you use Meson, no changes are
+necessary.
-Note that autogen.sh runs configure for you. If you wish to pass
-options like --prefix=/usr to configure you can give those options
-to autogen.sh and they will be passed on to configure.

+autogen.sh without running the configure script, export the NOCONFIGURE
+environment variable.
