-# Building
-
-The following describes how to build YARP from source.
-
-## Common
-
-All of the source files match `src/**/*.c` and all of the headers match `include/**/*.h`.
-
-The following flags should be used to compile YARP:
-
-* `-std=c99` - Use the C99 standard
-* `-Wall -Wconversion -Wextra -Wpedantic -Wundef` - Enable the warnings we care about
-* `-Werror` - Treat warnings as errors
-* `-fvisibility=hidden` - Hide all symbols by default
-
-The following flags can be used to compile YARP:
-
-* `-DHAVE_MMAP` - Should be passed if the system has the `mmap` function
-* `-DHAVE_SNPRINTF` - Should be passed if the system has the `snprintf` function
-
-## Shared
-
-If you want to build YARP as a shared library and link against it, you should compile with:
-
-* `-fPIC -shared` - Compile as a shared library
-* `-DYP_EXPORT_SYMBOLS` - Export the symbols (by default nothing is exported)
