 The above versions are the ones I have tested recently, but other
 versions might work. OGRE, Audiere and OIS will require their own set
 of dependencies. I recommend using an automated package tool to
 install as many of these as possible. On ubuntu, try typing:
 
-sudo apt-get install libogre-dev libaudiere-dev libois-dev build-essential g++ curl gdc
-
-This takes care of OGRE, Audiere, OIS, the C and D compilers, make and
-curl. The rest have to be installed manually. This will give you the
-GDC (frontend for GCC) compiler.
-
-The "official" compiler, DMD, is updated more often, but both should
-work. Note however that DMD is only available on 32 bit Linux - other
-operating systems or architectures will have to use GDC. (However GDC
-might also be unstable on these platforms.)

-You can find the two remaining dependencies here:

-DSSS:     http://svn.dsource.org/projects/dsss/downloads/
-Monster:  http://monster.snaptoad.com/download.html
-
-If you are using a DSSS binary and not compiling from source (I
-recommend the binary), make sure to get one that matches your D
-compiler. Ie. get the GDC version if you installed GDC, and the DMD
-version for DMD.

+Choosing a D compiler
+---------------------
+
+The above apt-get command installs the GDC compiler. There are
+currently two choices for the D compiler, DMD and GDC. DMD is the
+"official" compiler and is updated more often, while GDC is a
+completely open source frontend to GCC (The GNU compiler.) Both should
+work equally well with OpenMW.
+
+If you want to use DMD instead, it can be found at:

+Note that DMD is only available on 32 bit Linux - other operating
+systems or architectures will have to use GDC. However GDC might be
+unstable on these platforms as well, even if it runs.

 Building:
 ---------
 
 After installing all the dependencies, you can try running make first
 to see if the C++ parts compile. You may need to alter the Makefile if
-you are using non-standard include paths, etc. When you are ready to
-compile the D parts and link it all together, type:
+you are using non-standard include paths, etc. If you have DSSS
+installed (a D build tool), type:
 
 dsss build
 
-If something goes terribly wrong during the build (which isn't
-unlikely), and you figure out how to solve it, I would appreciate if
-you told me about it so I could update these instructions.
+If you do NOT have DSSS, you can compile using the script
 
+./build_openmw.sh
