+    Anope can be built one of two ways. The recommended way is to use CMake.
+    You can check if CMake is already installed on your system using the
+    command:
+
+        cmake --version
+
+    If it's installed, you will get a line that says something similar to
+    "cmake version 2.6-patch 1". If the version is less than 2.4 or you get
+    an error saying the command was not found, you will not be able to use
+    CMake unless you install it yourself into your home directory. CMake
+    can be downloaded from:
+
+        http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
+
+    If you are unable to install CMake yourself (either due to lack of space
+    or restrictions by your hosting provider), you still have the alternative
+    to use the provided configure script. This option is not recommended and
+    will eventually be phased out, but is provided for compatibility for those
+    lacking CMake.

     Next, unpack the package in your home directory, and go into the created
     directory.

+    The question to using configure or cmake depends on your decision from

     You can now type make to compile Anope. If there are errors in the
