-To build a standalone Eclipse OMR, run the following commands from the top of the source tree. The top of the Eclipe OMR source tree is the directory that contains `run_configure.mk`. Note that on Windows systems, you must use a shell script interpreter such as bash to run the configure command.
+To build standalone Eclipse OMR, run the following commands from the root of the
+source tree.
 
-    # Generate autotools makefiles with SPEC-specific presets
-    make -f run_configure.mk SPEC=linux_x86-64 OMRGLUE=./example/glue
+    # Create a build directory and cd into it
+    mkdir build
+    cd build
