 ## Description
 
-i3status is a small program (about 1500 SLOC) for generating a status bar for
-i3bar, dzen2, xmobar or similar programs. It is designed to be very efficient by
-issuing a very small number of system calls, as one generally wants to update
-such a status line every second. This ensures that even under high load, your
-status bar is updated correctly. Also, it saves a bit of energy by not hogging
-your CPU as much as spawning the corresponding amount of shell commands would.

 ## Development
 
@@ -15,23 +15,30 @@ i3status has the following dependencies:
   * libconfuse-dev
   * libyajl-dev
   * libasound2-dev
-  * libiw-dev
-  * libcap2-bin (for getting network status without root permissions)
+  * libnl-genl-3-dev
   * asciidoc (only for the documentation)
   * libpulse-dev (for getting the current volume using PulseAudio)
 
 On debian-based systems, the following line will install all requirements:
 ```bash
-apt-get install libconfuse-dev libyajl-dev libasound2-dev libiw-dev asciidoc libcap2-bin libpulse-dev
+apt-get install libconfuse-dev libyajl-dev libasound2-dev libiw-dev asciidoc libpulse-dev libnl-genl-3-dev

+
+If you absolutely have to build from source, use:
 
-Compiling is done with the usual make-line
 ```bash

+  autoreconf -fi
+  mkdir build
+  cd build
+  ../configure
+  make -j8
