-Compiling the SIDPlayer source
-------------------------------
+SIDPlayer Installation Instructions
+===================================
 
-BeOS:
-  make -f Makefile.BeOS
 
-Unix:
-  ./configure
-  make
-  make install
+BeOS
+----
+
+The easiest way is to download one of the precompiled BeOS binary archives
+(x86 or PowerPC, depending on your CPU architecture). Simply unexpand the
+archive to your hard drive.
+
+SIDPlayer can also be used as an input plugin for CL-Amp by Claes Löfqvist.
+Simply copy the "SIDPlayer" application to your CL-Amp "Plugins" directory
+(you have to copy it, placing a link won't work) and rename it to
+"in_SIDPlayer".
+
+If you downloaded the source, you can compile it using the following
+command:
+
+ $ make -f Makefile.BeOS
+
+
+Unix
+----
+
+SIDPlayer requires the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) library, available
+from the official SDL site:
+
+  http://www.libsdl.org/
+
+If you didn't install SDL from source, you have to install the "SDL-devel"
+package to compile SIDPlayer.
+
+As with any autoconfiguring GNU software, installation is as easy as this:
+
+ $ ./configure
+ $ make
+ [become root]
+ # make install
+
+For a complete list of options that the "configure" script takes, type
+
+ $ ./configure --help
+
+The most important option is
+
+ --prefix=PREFIX
+
+which you can use to specify a different installation directory (the default
+is /usr/local). The "sidplayer" executable will be installed in PREFIX/bin.
