+DeforaOS Surfer
+===============
+
+About Surfer
+------------
+
+Surfer is a web browser.
+
+Surfer is part of the DeforaOS Project, found at https://www.defora.org/.
+
+
+Compiling Surfer
+-----------------
+
+Surfer depends on the following components:
+
+ * Gtk+ 2.4 or newer, or Gtk+ 3.0 or newer
+ * DeforaOS libDesktop
+ * an implementation of `make`
+ * gettext (libintl) for translations
+ * DocBook-XSL for the manual pages
+ * GTK-Doc for the API documentation
+ * Either one of:
+   * WebKit for Gtk+ 2
+   * WebKit for Gtk+ 3
+   * WebKit2 for Gtk+ 3
+
+With these installed, the following command should be enough to compile and
+install Surfer on most systems:
+
+    $ make install
+
+To install (or package) Surfer in a different location, use the `PREFIX` option
+as follows:
+
+    $ make PREFIX="/another/prefix" install
+
+Surfer also supports `DESTDIR`, to be installed in a staging directory; for
+instance:
+
+    $ make DESTDIR="/staging/directory" PREFIX="/another/prefix" install
+
+The compilation process supports a number of other options, such as OBJDIR for
+compilation outside of the source tree for instance.
+
+On some systems, the Makefiles shipped may have to be re-generated accordingly.
+This can be performed with the DeforaOS configure tool.
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+
+Manual pages for each of the executables installed are available in the `doc`
+folder. They are written in the DocBook-XML format, and need libxslt and
+DocBook-XSL to be installed for conversion to the HTML or man file format.
+
+Distributing Surfer
