 If you want to hack on the GTK+ project, you'll need to have
 the following packages installed:
 
-       - GNU autoconf 2.52
-       - GNU automake 1.4
-       - GNU libtool 1.4
-       - indent (GNU indent 1.9.1 is known good)

+        - GNU libtool 1.4
+        - indent (GNU indent 1.9.1 is known good)
+        - GNU gettext 10.40
 
 These should be available by ftp from ftp.gnu.org or any of the
 fine GNU mirrors.  Beta software can be found at alpha.gnu.org.

+
+To compile the SVN version of gtk+ on your system, you will need to take
 several steps to setup the tree for compilation.  You can do all these
 steps at once by running:
 
-        cvsroot/gtk+# ./autogen.sh
+        gtk+$ ./autogen.sh
    
 Basically this does the following for you:
 
-       cvsroot/gtk+# aclocal; automake; autoconf
+        gtk+$ aclocal; automake; autoconf
 
-        The above commands create the "configure" script.  Now you
-       can run the configure script in cvsroot/gtk+ to create all
-       the Makefiles.
+The above commands create the `configure' script.  Now you

-to autogen.sh and they will be passed on to configure.
