+= Compiling the Code =
+
+After you obtained the code as lined out in the RepositoryGuidelines, you do the following:
+
+{{{
+./autogen.sh
+}}}
+
+This creates the necessary autoconf and automake files.
+
+After this,
+
+{{{
+mkdir build
+cd build
+../configure --prefix=`pwd`
+}}}
+
+which will run the configure script that checks whether you have a current version of the 
+ * GNU Scientific Library (GSL)
+ * Qt4 framework
+ * Boost library 1.40 or newer with program_options and threads
+ * CPPUnit framework
+
+''--prefix'' is the argument to tell configure where all program code should go to (''`pwd`'' is the unix command for the current working directory). There are others, see
+{{{
+../configure --help
+}}}
+and some enable/disable switches you should check out:
+ * ''--enable-hydrogen'' - says that hydrogen is treated special in the fragmentation parts
+ * ''--enable-ecut'' - says that the !TestRunner, comprising all unit tests in one exectuable, shall make use of the Eclipse !CppUnitTest (ECUT). If this is started within eclipse with this plugin instanlled, a shiny interface will tell you what failed and what not.
+
+Now, we are ready to compile and install.
+{{{
+make
+make install
+}}}
+
+And if everything went well, you should launch the unit tests and the testsuite by
+{{{
+make check
+}}}
+
+If everything is OK, you have a working version of molecuilder in form of the executables '''bin/molecuilder''' and '''bin/molecuildergui'''.
