 COMPILING
 ---------
 Make sure you have CMake (http://cmake.org/), and of course, a C compiler,
  on your system before proceeding.
+For Windows, try MinGW32 (http://mingw.org/).
+For Unix-based systems, you should not have any problems with the C compiler
+ since there's one (almost) always available. Puppy Linux users of course
+ need a separate `devx.sfs' (from the same place where you got the Puppy
+ ISO), since vanilla Puppy does not come with `gcc'. See your Puppy docs for
+ more info about how to install additional SFS files.
 
-Under Windows: (note: untested)
-  - Open a command prompt and CD to the minetest-irc directory.
+To compile and "pack" the mod:
+
+  - Open a command prompt/terminal and CD to the minetest-irc directory.
   - Create a directory named "Build", and CD into it:
-      md Build
+      mkdir Build
       cd Build
   - Run CMake to generate the build system (see your CMake docs for more
-     information about command line options).

       cmake ..
   - Use the build tool for the generated build system to compile the
      native library. For example, if using Microsoft Visual Studio, open
      the generated workspace and build from there. If using make, just run
      "make" from within the Build directory.
-  - Use the packmod.bat batch file to copy the files into a ready to use
-     mod directory named `irc'.
