Building
--------
-Since guile is primarily a scripting language no explicit compilation step is required. Just run module/main.scm and the appropriate modules will be compiled (guile will tell you what it's doing). For building this README, run
- ./main text < README.in | sed "s/<<today>>/`date -I`/" > README
+ ./configure
+ ./main
+No explicit compilation is required for general usage, since Guile compiles
+files as they are needed. You do however have to run `./configure` before the first startup to set up some local variables and download the timezone db.
+
+To actually compile the files, and render the documentation (at the time of writing only the README), run
+ make all
