To build this code after doing a Git clone, run:
$ ./acprep update

+ NOTE FOR MAC OS X USERS
+
+To build and install Ledger on the Mac requires several dependencies. If you
+are a MacPorts user, you can install these dependencies very simply using:
+
+ $ ./acprep dependencies
+
+Once this is done, I recommend building both debug and optimized versions of
+Ledger, in a subdirectory of your source tree named 'build':
+
+ $ mkdir build
+ $ ./acprep opt make
+ $ ./acprep debug make
+
+Now install the optimized version, but know that you have 'build/debug/ledger'
+available for testing and more useful bug reports.
