+In-depth Instructions
+
+NetBSD's Packages Collection provides for easy installation from 
+source on a multitude of platforms (NetBSD, Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, 
+Darwin, Irix).  You should be able to compile and install Blender 
+easily by simply changing into the directory 
+/usr/pkgsrc/graphics/blender and issuing the command 'make install'.  
+This will automatically download the sources, verify their integrity, 
+download and install all necessary dependencies and build and install 
+Blender.  Please see for details:
+	http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html

+
+
+Note that there are a few flags you can set to compile in support for 
+additional packages.  Search /usr/pkgsrc/mk/bsd.pkg.defaults.mk for 
+"BLENDER" variables and set them according to your preference in 
+/etc/mk.conf
+
+If you experience problems building the package, please use send-pr(1)
