+Generating the configure script
+-------------------------------
+
+Collectd ships with a `build.sh' script to generate the `configure'
+script shipped with releases.
+
+To generate the `configure` script, you'll need the following dependencies:
+
+- autoconf
+- automake
+- flex
+- bison
+- libtool
+- libtool-ltdl
+
+The `build.sh' script takes no arguments.
