-WHAT IS CROSSFIRE?
+WHAT IS DELIANTRA?
   This is a multiplayer graphical arcade and adventure game, that runs on
   a client/server model. There are clients for Microsoft(R) Windows(TM)
   and POSIX systems such as Linux and *BSD. To get the most joyful
-  experience, the Crossfire+ client should be used. This client is written

   in Perl and utilises SDL with OpenGL to provide you with the most
   immersive gameplay.

+  Deliantra has certain flavours from other games, especially Gauntlet (TM)
   and Nethack/Moria.
   Any number of players can move around in their own window on the
   world, finding and using items and battle monsters. They can choose to
   cooperate or compete in the same "world".
 REQUIREMENTS
   For UNIX, a modern C++ compiler with some extensions is required to
-  compile this game. In addition, you will need the Perl development
+  compile this game (g++ 4.x works). In addition, you will need the Perl
-  libraries along with the following Perl modules (the server is tested
+  development libraries along with the following Perl modules (the server
-  with perl 5.8.8 and 5.8-maint).
+  requires perl 5.10.1). A perl configured for 64 bit integer support is
+  highly recommended to avoid overflows, but 32 bit perls are supported)
+  and their dependencies. In general, the newest version from CPAN will
+  do. The configure script will complain when it detects an unsuitable
+  version.

+  **NOTICE**: Deliantra uses an alternative signal stack, so you cannot
+  use the sigaltstack method (== setjmp on unrecognised platforms) for
+  Coro. Try "a"ssembly, "u"context or "p"threads as backend instead on
+  those platforms.
   Furthermore, you will need the following programs and libraries:
      - gperf, the GNU perfect hash generator >= v3.0
      - glib-2.0 >= v2.10
      - libpng >= v1.2
-     - ImageMagick >= v6.0

      - optipng => v0.5.5 (http://optipng.sf.net)

-     - rsync >= 2.6 (a must have anyways)
+     - rsync >= v2.6 (a must have anyways)
   Your compiler must support the Library Technical Report 1 extensions and
   the upcoming typeof extension. The GNU C++ compiler >= version 4.0 does
   support all these.
+  On Debian GNU/Linux, you might get away with something like this for many of the
+  above dependencies:
+  apt-get install gperf optipng pngnq rsync imagemagick libglib2.0-dev libpng12-dev
+  apt-get install libpod-pom-perl libsafe-hole-perl libevent-perl
+  If you want to get sensible backtraces for error conditions at runtime
+  to be logged you also need the external addr2line program (part of GNU
+  binutils) in your PATH.
