+Configuring / Compiling / Installing
+------------------------------------
+
+ To configure, build and install collectd with the default settings, run
+ `./configure && make && make install'. For detailed, generic instructions
+ see INSTALL. For a complete list of configure options and their description,
+ run `./configure --help'.
+
+ By default, the configure script will check for all build dependencies and
+ disable all plugins whose requirements cannot be fulfilled (any other plugin
+ will be enabled). To enable a plugin, install missing dependencies (see
+ section `Prerequisites' above) and rerun `configure'. If you specify the
+ `--enable-<plugin>' configure option, you can force the plugin to be built.
+ This will most likely fail though unless you're working in a very unusual
+ setup and you really know what you're doing.
+
+ By default, collectd will be installed into `/opt/collectd'. You can adjust
+ this setting by specifying the `--prefix' configure option - see INSTALL for
+ details. If you pass DESTDIR=<path> to `make install', <path> will be
+ prefixed to all installation directories. This might be useful when creating
+ packages for collectd.
