Use ./Makefile.PL to generate a Makefile, "make" will build the
documentation wiki and a man page, and "make install" will install ikiwiki.
-A few special variables you can set while using the Makefile:
+All other documentation is in the ikiwiki documentation wiki, which is also
+available online at <http://ikiwiki.info/>
-PROFILE=1 turns on profiling for the build of the doc wiki. Uses Devel::Profile
-NOTAINT=0 turns on the taint flag in the ikiwiki program. (Not recommended
-unless your perl is less buggy than mine -- see
-http://bugs.debian.org/411786)
+A few special variables you can set while using the Makefile.PL:
-There are also other variables supported by MakeMaker, including PREFIX,
-INSTALL_BASE, and DESTDIR. See ExtUtils::MakeMaker(3).

+ MAKE, FIND, and SED can be used to specify where you have the GNU
+ versions of those tools installed, if the normal make, find, and sed
+ are not GNU.
+
+ There are also other variables supported by MakeMaker, including PREFIX,
+ INSTALL_BASE, and DESTDIR. See ExtUtils::MakeMaker(3).
+
+ In particular, INSTALL_BASE is very useful if you want to install ikiwiki
+ to some other location, as it configures it to see the perl libraries
+ there. See `doc/tips/nearlyfreespeech.mdwn` for an example of using this to
+ install ikiwiki and its dependencies in a home directory.
