-The current make file only supports static linking between SciTE and Scintilla.
+This installs SciTE into $prefix/bin. The value of $prefix is determined from
+the location of Gnome if it is installed. This is usually /usr if installed 
+with Linux or /usr/local if built from source. If Gnome is not installed 
+/usr/bin is used as the prefix. The prefix can be overridden on the command 
+line like "make prefix=/opt" but the same value should be used for both make 
+and make install as this location is compiled into the executable. The global 
+properties file is installed at $prefix/share/scite/SciTEGlobal.properties.
+
+If Gnome is installed then a .desktop file and icon are installed into the 
+correct Gnome places so that SciTE will be in the Gnome Applications menu.
 
-The SciTEGTK.properties file is better than the SciTEGlobal.properties for use 
-on Linux/GTK+ as it specifies fonts that are likely to be installed. 
-SciTE reads its SciTEGlobal.properties file from the user's home directory.
+To remove SciTE
+	make uninstall

+To clean the object files which may be needed to change $prefix
