+building xine on IRIX
+---------------------
+
+* Choose gcc for compilation during configure,
+ e.g. 'env CC=gcc ./configure'
+
+* Compile xine with GNU make (gmake).
+
+
+Known Problems
+--------------
+
+* Cannot compile with IRIX cc
+
+ This is an unresolved issue with automake and dependencies.
+ Not likely to be fixed soon.
+
+* xine only opens a 16 bit visual and looks ugly
+
+ This is done intentionally (speedup on most architectures).
+ Choose an appropriate visual (with xdpyinfo) and select it
+ e.g. with 'xine --visual 0x33'.
+
+* Scaling is slow
+
+ Choose the opengl plugin instead of the xshm plugin.
+ However, this plugin is still highly experimental, expect
+ some crashes, and read README.opengl
