+1. How to use the Opie build system
+====================================
+There's a tutorial document at:
 http://www.uv-ac.de/opiedev/opiedev.html
 
-and the API is at:
+The API reference currently is at:
 http://handhelds.org/~zecke/apidocs/index.html

-You will need qvfb, designer, and uic from a qt-x11-2.3.2 package.
+You will need qvfb, uic and
+(if you want to develop applications) designer
+compiled and linked against qt-x11.
 That means you must download and configure/make it.
 wget ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-x11-2.3.2.tar.gz
-
+(Alternatively, you can get static binaries from http://www.vanille.de/tools)
 
 The recommended version of Qt embedded is qt-embedded-2.3.7
 
 You can get it from:
 ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-embedded-2.3.7.tar.bz2
-Other version will found in that directory.
-
 
 Set QTDIR to point to your qt/embedded source tree, such as:
-
 export QTDIR=/opt/qt-2.3.7
 
-Then you need to do
+You need to do set the OPIEDIR environment variable:
 export OPIEDIR=`pwd`
 or
 export OPIEDIR=~/projects/sources/opie
-or where ever you placed Opie sources.
+or whereever you placed the Opie sources.
 
-and then do:
+You need to adjust your runtime library search path,
+so that the Qt/Embedded and Opie libraries can be found:
 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$OPIEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 
-You will want to apply the patches in the $OPIEDIR/qt directory to qt-embedded
-*NOTE* You can skip the qte234-for-opie091-simpad.patch
-patch, unless you are compiling for simpad.
-
+You have to apply the qte<version>-all.patch to the Qt/Embedded
+sources and copy the qconfig-qpe.h file to $QTDIR/src/tools:
 cd $QTDIR; cat $OPIEDIR/qt/qte<version>*.patch | patch -p0
+cp $OPIEDIR/qt/qpe-config.h $QTDIR/src/tools
 
+You are now ready to configure and build Qt/Embedded
 
-
-
-Now Qt Embedded is patched and ready to go! You are ready to configure and make qt embedded.
-
-I run this script to configure qte
-------------------- start script
-#!/bin/bash
-## this file is for easy configuring of qt embedded for Qtopia development, on x86
-
-configure_make () {
-    if configure_qt; then
-        make;
-        else exit -1
-fi
-}
-
-configure_qt () {
-    cd $QTDIR;
- echo 'yes' | ./configure -qconfig qpe -depths 4,16,24,32 -system-jpeg -system-libpng -system-zlib -no-xft -qvfb;

-# default configuration of Qt embedded for Opie
-echo "Configuring Qt Embedded for Opie development....";
-if [ ! -e $QTDIR/src/tools/qconfig-qpe.h ]; then
-    cp $OPIEDIR/qt/qconfig-qpe.h $QTDIR/src/tools

-------------------- end script
+cd $QTDIR
+echo 'yes' | ./configure -qconfig qpe -depths 4,16,24,32 -system-jpeg -system-libpng -system-zlib -no-xft -qvfb
+make
 
 Once you have these compiled, be sure to set the PATH to ensure your (cross)compiler
 is available.
 
 Then do the following in the opie source tree:
 
 make clean
 make menuconfig
 
 Now you can move through the menu and select or deselect anything..
 Exit and save the configuration and enter "make" to create opie...
 
 Have fun with it !
 
-If you get into trouble there are other make's
+If you get into trouble there are other makefile targets
 
 make clean-configs
 is a useful one.

 2. Used Libraries
 ================
 
 The following Libraries are used in Opie.
 For a successfull build you must install these librarys and headers.
 The versions are known-good versions. If you successfully try newer ones,
