-## Building with Autotools and Ant
-
-This is the old method, and will eventually be removed.
-
-
-### Build requirements
-
-- JDK
-- Apache Ant
-- OpenSlide ≥ 3.4.0
-- pkg-config
-
-
-### Building on Linux or Mac OS X
-
-```
-./configure
-make
-make install
-```
-
-(If building from the Git repository, you will first need to install
-autoconf, automake, libtool, and pkg-config and run `autoreconf -i`.)
-
-
-### Cross-compiling for Windows with MinGW-w64
-
-```
-PKG_CONFIG=pkg-config \
- PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/cross/compiled/openslide/lib/pkgconfig \
- ./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --build=$(build-aux/config.guess)
-make
-make install
-```
-
-For a 64-bit JRE, substitute `--host=x86_64-w64-mingw32`.
-
-
-### Building on Windows
-
-Ensure that the path to the openslide-java source tree does not contain
-whitespace.
-
-Install Cygwin, selecting these additional packages:
-
-- `make`
-- `pkg-config`
-- `mingw64-i686-gcc-core` and/or `mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core`
-
-(Cygwin is only needed for the build environment; the resulting binaries
-do not require Cygwin.)
-
-Also install a JDK and Apache Ant.
-
-Then:
-
-```
-./configure --prefix=/path/to/install/dir \
- --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --build=$(build-aux/config.guess) \
- PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/path/to/openslide/lib/pkgconfig" \
- JAVA_HOME="$(cygpath c:/Program\ Files/Java/jdk*)" \
- ANT_HOME="/path/to/ant/directory"
-make
-make install
-```
-
-For a 64-bit JRE, substitute `--host=x86_64-w64-mingw32`.
