I'm allowed to modify them myself?
Anyway I would recommend the following:
- the dependencies mentioned by Robert are missing (libtool...)
- I would mention Ubuntu more visible
- there is a ";" following "different;"

To discuss:
- should we add a "Open Terminal by pressing CTRL-ALT-T and create a
build directory by doing "mkdir src; cd src" in the beginning?

General:
- There might be people expecting the building guideline in the
Documentation section, so wouldn't it be wise to move it to there?
