+	While the requirements for compiling the Nagios plugins release is very small,
+	to develop from CVS needs additional software to be installed. These are the

+
+	<literallayout>
+	gnu make 3.79
+	automake 1.6
+	autoconf 2.52
+	gettext 0.11.5
+	</literallayout>
+
+	To compile from CVS, after you have checked out the code, run:
+	<literallayout>
+	tools/setup
+	./configure
+	make
