 ### Compile-time options
 To create a debugging version of mercury, use the **make debug-mercury** target in the src/ subdirectory.  Be sure to run **make clean** first.
 
-There are compile-time options that can tune mercury for your hardware.  Each of these options is set via a C/C++ preprocessor directive, which should be passed as an argument to "make" through the OPTFLAGS variable.   Frst run **make clean** to remove the previous build, then run **make "OPTFLAGS=<DIRECTIVE>"**.   This runs make, telling it to pass <DIRECTIVE> to the C/C++ compiler.
