+DeforaOS libSystem
+==================
+
+About libSystem
+---------------
+
+libSystem is the most essential library within DeforaOS, with the aim to become
+a complete C runtime (thus obsoleting the libc and replacing its API).
+Regardless of its progress in this regard, libSystem is intended to be portable
+and work on any system, using any POSIX-compliant runtime provided instead.
+
+Compiling libSystem
+-------------------
+
+With GCC, this should be enough:
+
+    $ make
+
+To install libSystem in a dedicated directory, like `/path/to/libSystem`:
+
+    $ make PREFIX="/path/to/libSystem" install
+
