+To build this tool you first need to install Visaul C++ Studio .NET 2003,
+Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2010.
+
+Open the mhmake.sln, mhmakevc6.sln or mhmakevc10.sln file in Visual Studio
+depending on the version of Visual Studio and compile for Debug and for
+Release.
+2 executables are generated by this process:
+- Release\mhmake.exe : gnu make compatible make program with some specific
+  extension is make the build process faster.
+
+- Debug\mhmake_dbg.exe  : Has the same functionality but does extra
+  error checking on makefiles and has extra debugging options. This one
+  is advised to be used when creating makefiles. When the makefiles are
+  fully debugging mhmake.exe is a better choise because here the build
+  process will be faster. mhmake.exe is more likely to crash when badly
+  written makefiles are passed as input.
+
+To build with kdevelop3 on linux
+- Open mhmake.kdevelop and build configurations Debug and Optimized
+- run 'make install' in the deubg and release directories (as root)
+
+To build with kdevelop4 on linux
+- run genkdev4.sh
