2. SUPPORTED PLATFORMS:

   - Linux/X11
   - Windows

With minor modifications, it should be possible to build FreeSSM on MacOS X
and other Unix systems, too, but there is currently no offical support.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. REQUIREMENTS:
   1.) FreeSSM source code (https://github.com/Comer352L/FreeSSM)
   2.) Qt4 >= 4.4.0 (qt-project.org)
       - for Windows, the MinGW-version is required (not the VS version)
       - compilation has been tested only with Qt 4.8.x (which is the latest and 
         also the last release of the Qt4 framework)
       - the new Qt5 framework does NOT work !
   3.) MinGW (only for MS Windows; usually shipped with Qt4; see www.MinGW.org)
       PLEASE NOTE:
       - the Qt 4.8.5 installer currently available at qt-project.org does
         not include MinGW anymore. Qt 4.8 requires MinGW with g++ 4.4, which
         is unfortunately no longer available at MinGW.org.
       - MinGW with g++ 4.4 can be downloaded from:
            https://piece-of-c.googlecode.com/files/MinGW-gcc440_1.zip
       - newer MinGW versions will not work with the binary release of Qt 4.8.x

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Open a console window and switch to the FreeSSM-directory.

Preparation:
$ qmake
