+This document briefly describes how to build and package gedit for OS X.
+
+Building gedit for OS X
+=============================================================================
+Please see build/README for more details on building gedit
+
+
+Making a gedit bundle
+=============================================================================
+
+You can make a gedit bundle (i.e. a gedit.app) with a script provided by
+gedit.
+
+ ./make bundle
+
+Note that in order for this to succeed, you will need to have built gedit
+successfully before. If successful, you will now have a gedit.app bundle
+in this directory. Similarly, if you want to build the final dmg image,
+you can use:
+
+ ./make dmg
+
+Again, for this to succeed you first need to have successfully built the
+bundle.
