 Basic Dropbear build instructions:
 
-- First, edit options.h to choose user-defined features to choose, such as
-  which ciphers/hashes you want, which forwarding you want, etc.
+- Edit options.h to set which features you want.
+- Edit debug.h if you want any debug options (not usually required).
 
-- Edit debug.h if you want any debug options
-
-- Now configure Dropbear's host-specific options
-  (if you are using a cvs copy, "autoconf; autoheader" first)
+(If using a non-tarball copy, "autoconf; autoheader")
 
 ./configure      (optionally with --disable-zlib or --disable-syslog,
                   or --help for other options)
 
-- Then compile and optionally install Dropbear:
+Now compile:
 
-(the Makefile requires GNU make, if you want to make it portable, send me
- some patches)
+make PROGRAMS="dropbear dbclient dropbearkey dropbearconvert scp"
 
-make
-make install     (installs to /usr/local/sbin, /usr/local/bin by default)
+And install (/usr/local/bin is usual default):
 
-You need to generate server keys, this is one-off:
-./dropbearkey -t rsa -f dropbear_rsa_host_key
-./dropbearkey -t dss -f dropbear_dss_host_key
-
-or alternatively convert OpenSSH keys to Dropbear:
-./dropbearconvert openssh dropbear /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key dropbear_dss_host_key
+make PROGRAMS="dropbear dbclient dropbearkey dropbearconvert scp" install
 
-And you can now run the server.
-./dropbear
-
-or './dropbear -h' to get options.
+(you can leave items out of the PROGRAMS list to avoid compiling them. If you
+recompile after changing the PROGRAMS list, you *MUST* "make clean" before
+recompiling - bad things will happen otherwise)
 
-If the server is run as non-root, you most likely won't be able to allocate a
-pty, and you cannot login as any user other than that running the daemon
-(obviously). Shadow passwords will also be unusable as non-root.
+See MULTI for instructions on making all-in-one binaries.
 
-The Dropbear distribution includes a standalone version of OpenSSH's scp
-program. You can compile it with "make scp", you may want to change the path
-of the ssh binary, specified near the top of the scp.c file. By default
-the progress meter isn't compiled in to save space, you can enable it with
-"make scp-progress".
+If you want to compile statically, add "STATIC=1" to the make command-line.
+
+Binaries can be strippd with "make strip"
