 ==============================================
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+You must have Xcode installed, with the command-line build tools.

+(If you are using Xcode 4, you may have to go to Preferences ->
+Downloads -> Components and install the Command Line Tools component.)
+
+You must have libsndfile (http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/)
+installed in order to build the command-line host successfully.  But
+you do not need libsndfile if you only want to build plugins.

 Building at the command line
 ----------------------------
 
 To build the SDK, example plugins, and command-line host:
 
  $ make -f build/Makefile.osx

+have libsndfile installed):
 
  $ make -f build/Makefile.osx sdk examples
 
 See the comments at the top of Makefile.osx for more information about
 the libraries and other targets that are built in this way.
 
-If you are using an IDE, you may prefer to simply add the vamp-sdk and

-hosts) directories to your existing project.
