 Note: Historically, Shairport Sync has taken its settings from command line arguments. While this is still the case, it does not always work well across distributions. Accordingly, from version 2.4 onwards, Shairport Sync reads settings from the file `/etc/shairport-sync.conf`. Access to new features will only be provided via the settings file.
 
-Building And Installing the Development Version
+Building And Installing
 ---------------------
+If you wish to install Shairport Sync on OpenWrt, Arch or Fedora platforms, please follow the appropriate instructions below. Limited support is also available for Mac OS X. Otherwise follow the General Build Instructions. Then, when the program has been installed, refer to the section on Configuring Shairport Sync that follows.
+
+**Note**
+
 The following procedures will install the shairport-sync application into your system. Before continuing, you should check to see if shairport-sync is already installed – you can use `which shairport-sync` to find where it is located, if installed. If it is installed you should delete it – you may need superuser privileges. After deleting, check again in case further copies are installed elsewhere.
 (If the existing installation of shairport-sync is where the new copy will be installed into, it will be overwritten; sometimes, however, the installation is to another location, so it is safer, initially, to delete previous versions manually.)
 
+**Ubuntu:**
+Personal Package Archives for Shairport Sync master and development branches are available at https://launchpad.net/~dantheperson. A `shairport-sync` installer package is available in Ubuntu 16.04, currently in its late beta phase.
+
+**Debian:**
+`shairport-sync` is in the Debian archive and is scheduled for release with Debian Stretch (9): https://tracker.debian.org/shairport-sync. A backport for Debian Jessie (8) may be provided given enough demand.
+
+**OpenWrt:**
+There is a Shairport Sync package in OpenWrt `trunk`. Also, there's an OpenWrt package at https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync-for-openwrt, including one that builds back to `Barrier Breaker`.
+
+**Arch Linux:**
+Shairport Sync is available for `x86_64` and `i686` platforms in the Arch Linux Community Repository -- search for `shairport-sync`. See also https://www.archlinux.org/packages/.
+
+An Arch Linux installation package, suitable for compilation on any platform, is available at [EliaCereda/shairport-sync-PKGBUILD](https://github.com/EliaCereda/shairport-sync-PKGBUILD).
+
+**Mac OS X:**
+A [HomeBrew](http://brew.sh) package exists for Shairport Sync. With HomeBrew installed, Shairport Sync can be installed using the command `$brew install shairport-sync`. Note that the installation uses the `libao` library and so synchronisation is not available — playback glitches will occur occasionally, when the `ao` system's buffers overflow or underflow.
+
+**Fedora:**
+Please see the guide at [FEDORA.md](https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync/blob/master/FEDORA.md).
+
+**Cygwin:**
+Please see the guide at [CYGWIN.md](https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync/blob/master/CYGWIN.md).
+
+Sincere thanks to all package contributors!
