+The Mach Interface Generator has to be built in a separate directory:
+
+    $ mkdir mig-build
+    $ cd mig-build
+
+Find the root directory where you installed GNU Mach's header files and where you now intend to install the Mach Interface Generator (_~/gnu_) and the path to your Mach Interface Generator sources (\_[...]/mig) and configure it:
+
+    $ GNU=~/gnu
+    $ TARGET_CPPFLAGS=-I"$GNU"/include [...]/mig/configure --prefix="$GNU"
+
+Build and install the Mach Interface Generator into _$GNU_, i.e. _~/gnu/_ in our example:
+
+    $ make all install
+
+To make your _mig_ binary easily available, you should append something like the following to e.g. your _~/.bash\_profile_:
+
+    PATH=~/gnu/bin:$PATH
+    export PATH
+
+If you already have e.g. _~/bin_ in your _$PATH_, you could also create a symbolic link:
+
+    $ ln -s ~/gnu/bin/mig ~/bin/
