+Building Kerberos V5
+====================
+
+This section details how to build and install MIT Kerberos software
+from the source.
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+In order to build Kerberos V5, you will need approximately 60-70
+megabytes of disk space.  The exact amount will vary depending on the
+platform and whether the distribution is compiled with debugging
+symbol tables or not.
+
+Your C compiler must conform to ANSI C (ISO/IEC 9899:1990, "c89").
+Some operating systems do not have an ANSI C compiler, or their
+default compiler requires extra command-line options to enable ANSI C
+conformance.
+
+If you wish to keep a separate build tree, which contains the compiled
+\*.o file and executables, separate from your source tree, you will
+need a make program which supports **VPATH**, or you will need to use
+a tool such as lndir to produce a symbolic link tree for your build
+tree.
+
+Obtaining the software
+----------------------
+
+The source code can be obtained from MIT Kerberos Distribution page,
+at http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/dist/index.html.
+The MIT Kerberos distribution comes in an archive file, generally
+named krb5-VERSION-signed.tar, where *VERSION* is a placeholder for
+the major and minor versions of MIT Kerberos.  (For example, MIT
+Kerberos 1.9 has major version "1" and minor version "9".)
+
+The krb5-VERSION-signed.tar contains a compressed tar file consisting
+of the sources for all of Kerberos (generally named
+krb5-VERSION.tar.gz) and a PGP signature file for this source tree
+(generally named krb5-VERSION.tar.gz.asc).  MIT highly recommends that
+you verify the integrity of the source code using this signature,
+e.g., by running::
+
+    tar xf krb5-VERSION-signed.tar
+    gpg --verify krb5-VERSION.tar.gz.asc
+
+Unpack krb5-VERSION.tar.gz in some directory. In this section we will assume
+that you have chosen the top directory of the distribution the directory
+``/u1/krb5-VERSION``.
+
+Review the README file for the license, copyright and other sprecific to the
+distribution information.
