====================
Some notes on how to build Bitcoin in Unix.
+Note
+---------------------
+Always use absolute paths to configure and compile bitcoin and the dependencies,
+for example, when specifying the the path of the dependency:
+
+ ../dist/configure --enable-cxx --disable-shared --with-pic --prefix=$BDB_PREFIX
+
+Here BDB_PREFIX must absolute path - it is defined using $(pwd) which ensures
+the usage of the absolute path.
