+Dependencies
+============
+
+To completely build the guile-lib module and its Autoconf build
+system, you will need the following package installed on your machine:
+
+* autoconf
+* automake
+* gettext
+* guile
+* pkg-config
+* texinfo
+
+If you use Guix, you can use the following to spawn an environment
+with the above dependencies:
+
+$ guix environment guile-lib --ad-hoc autoconf automake gettext texinfo
+
+Generating the build system scripts
+===================================
+
+To generate the build system script, run:
+
+$ ./autogen.sh
+
+The produced configure script can then be used to configure the
+project and 'make' to build it.
+
+Running the test suite
+======================
+
+To run the test suite, you can use:
+
+$ make check
+
+Or to run a specific test:
+
+$ make check TESTS=htmlprag.scm
+
+Trying guile-lib without installing it
+======================================
+
+To run a Guile program or command in an environment where the
+GUILE_LOAD_PATH and GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH have been adjusted to use
+the guile-lib checkout directly, you can do:
+
+$ ./pre-inst-env your-program and its arguments
