+Building Documentation
+----------------------
+
+By default the documentation for notmuch is built using sphinx.
+
+Sphinx is available from www.sphinx-doc.org.
+
+If you prefer, you can build the man pages using rst2man, from the
+python docutils package. See doc/INSTALL for details.

+Installing Dependencies from Packages
+-------------------------------------
+
On a modern, package-based operating system you can install all of the
dependencies with a simple simple command line. For example:
For Debian and similar:
- sudo apt-get install libxapian-dev libgmime-2.6-dev libtalloc-dev
+ sudo apt-get install libxapian-dev libgmime-2.6-dev libtalloc-dev python-sphinx
For Fedora and similar:
- sudo yum install xapian-core-devel gmime-devel libtalloc-devel
+ sudo yum install xapian-core-devel gmime-devel libtalloc-devel python-sphinx
On other systems, a similar command can be used, but the details of
the package names may be different.
