-## Setting up your development environment
-
-Before building Rack, you must install build dependencies provided by your system's package manager.
-Rack's own dependencies (GLEW, glfw, etc) do not need to be installed on your system, since specific versions are compiled locally during the build process.
-However, you need proper tools to build Rack and these dependencies.
-
-### Mac
-
-Install [Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/).
-Using [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/), install the build dependencies.
-```
-brew install git wget cmake autoconf automake libtool
-```
-
-### Windows
-
-Install [MSYS2](http://www.msys2.org/) and launch the MinGW 64-bit shell (not the default MSYS shell).
-```
-pacman -S git wget make tar unzip zip mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake autoconf automake mingw-w64-x86_64-libtool
-```
-
-### Linux
-
-On Ubuntu 16.04:
-```
-sudo apt install git curl cmake libx11-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libxi-dev zlib1g-dev libasound2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libjack-jackd2-dev
-```
-
-On Arch Linux:
-```
-pacman -S git wget gcc make cmake tar unzip zip curl
-```
-
-## Building
-
-*If the build fails for you, please report the issue with a detailed error message to help the portability of Rack.*
-
-Clone this repository with `git clone https://github.com/VCVRack/Rack.git` and `cd Rack`.
-Make sure there are no spaces in your absolute path, as this breaks many build systems.
-
-Clone submodules.
-
-	git submodule update --init --recursive
-
-Build dependencies locally.
-You may add `-j$(nproc)` to your make commands to parallelize builds across all CPU cores.
-
-	make dep
-
-Build Rack.
-
-	make
-
-Run Rack.
-
-	make run
-
-## Building plugins
-
-Be sure to check out and build the version of Rack you wish to build your plugins against.
-
-You must clone the plugin in Rack's `plugins/` directory, e.g.
-
-	cd plugins
-	git clone https://github.com/VCVRack/Fundamental.git
-
-Clone submodules.
-
-	cd Fundamental
-	git submodule update --init --recursive
-
-Build plugin.
-
-	make dep
-	make
