+Enhanced OpenGL port of the official DOOM source code that also supports
+Heretic, Hexen, and Strife.
+
+This is "gzdoom-legacy", which supports older versions of gzdoom that
+run smoothly on older/slower hardware. If you're looking for the latest
+version, you want the regular "gzdoom" build. Note that gzdoom-legacy
+and gzdoom conflict: only install one or the other.
+
+Optional compile-time dependencies: fluidsynth and OpenAL. These are
+auto-detected.
+
+See README_SBo.txt for optional runtime dependencies.
+
+This script can be used to build gzdoom 1.8.09, 1.9.1, or 2.3.2. For
+more information, see README_versions.txt.
+
+*Note: if you're upgrading from gzdoom-1.5.x to 1.9.x or 2.x, the
+config file location has changed. To keep your old settings:
+
+ mkdir -p ~/.config/gzdoom
+ cp ~/.gzdoom/zdoom.ini ~/.config/gzdoom/gzdoom.ini
+
+If you're upgrading from gzdoom 1.7 or 1.8:
+ mv ~/.config/gzdoom/zdoom.ini ~/.config/gzdoom/gzdoom.ini
