+The build is controlled via Makefile variables. In general
+you should be able to build using:
+
+  $ make
+  $ make install
+
+To change the target prefix, for example:
+
+  $ make install PREFIX=/opt/bpm-tools
+
+The Makefile picks up additional variables from a .config file
+in the source directory. You will prefer to use this if you want
+to control build flags for testing and debugging.
