-of the commercial versions of ROTT, compile with:
+The resulting binaries can be found in the rott/ directory.
 
-  make SHAREWARE=0
-
+The build system is setup to build the commercial variant of ROTT.
 This variant supports the Registered Version, the "Super ROTT" CD Version and
 the "Site License" CD Version of the game by automatically detecting and
 loading their corresponding multiplayer map files.

-the Simple Direct Media Layer and SDL_mixer.
+  ./configure --enable-shareware
 
+Additionally, you may pass the "--enable-suffix=<suffix>" parameter to
+./configure in order to append a suffix to the executable file name,
+e.g. to tell the commercial and the shareware variants apart. You may
+also want to pass the "--enable-datadir=<datadir>" parameter to point
+the executables to the location of your game data files.
