@@ -6,3 +6,19 @@ Building on Windows:
 	2.	Copy the GUI folder from the root directory into dist\.
 	3.	The executable is in dist\lightningbeam.exe. You probably do need most if the DLL's, I haven't
 		gone through them yet.
+
+Building on Ubuntu/Debian:
+	1.	In a terminal, type:
+			./mkdebian
+			cd debian
+			dpkg --build lightningbeam ./
+	2.	Now there is a package, which can be installed however.
+	3.	To create a RPM package:
+			sudo apt-get install alien
+			alien -r lightningbeam.deb
+	4.	To create a Slackware TGZ package:
+			alien -t lightningbeam.deb
+Building on Mac OSX:
+	1.	In a terminal, type:
+			/usr/bin/python setup.py py2app
+	2.	This will create an .app package.
