+Compiling mandelbrot on Linux:
+ You will need the devel files for the allegro graphics library. You
+ should be able to find them via yum/zypper/apt-get or whatever the
+ package manager of your distro is called. Of course you will also need
+ GCC and the make command.
+ If you have everything,just type "make" into a console and everything
+ should compile in some seconds.
+
+Compiling mandelbrot on Windows:
+ You need a C compiler. I prefer mingw32 (wxDevC++), but anyone should
+ do. Then you have to get Allegro 4.2 for this compiler. If you are using
+ (wx)DevC++, you can download a devpak file from devpaks.org. For other
+ compilers: Google is your friend.
+ Then you can compile mandelbrot (do not forget do tell the compiler /
+ linker to include the allegro library!).
+ NOTE: I do not know any compiler for Windows, which supports OpenMP, but
+ perhaps a new MinGW version (not that old one from DevC++) or
+ Microsoft's VisualC++ do, but I do not know. If your compiler does not
+ like the "#pragma omp" lines, you have to remove them from the sources.
+
+Compiling mandelbrot on other Operating systems:
+ I don't have any clue. You are on your own. Good luck!
