+It's pretty straightforward:
+
+cp $MY_DER_ENCODED_CERT pub.cer
+make VENDOR_CERT_FILE=pub.cer
+make EFIDIR=my_esp_dir_name install
+
+There are a couple of ways to customize the build:
+
+Install targets:
+- install
+ installs shim as if to a hard drive, including installing MokManager and
+ fallback appropriately.
+- install-as-data
+ installs shim files to /usr/share/shim/$(EFI_ARCH)-$(VERSION)/
+
+Variables you should set to customize the build:
+- EFIDIR
+ This is the name of the ESP directory. The install targets won't work
+ without it.
+- DESTDIR
+ This will be prepended to any install targets, so you don't have to
+ install to a live root directory.
+- DEFAULT_LOADER
+ defaults to \\\\grub$(EFI_ARCH).efi , but you could set it to whatever.
+ Be careful with the leading backslashes, they can be hard to get
+ correct.
+
+Variables you could set to customize the build:
+- ENABLE_SHIM_CERT
+ if this variable is defined one the make command line, shim will
+ generate keys during the build and sign MokManager and fallback with
+ them, and the signed version will be what gets installed with the
+ install targets
+- ENABLE_HTTPBOOT
+ build support for http booting
+- ARCH
+ This allows you to do a build for a different arch that we support. For
+ instance, on x86_64 you could do "setarch linux32 make ARCH=ia32" to get
+ the ia32 build instead. (DEFAULT_LOADER will be automatically adjusted
+ in that case.)
+- TOPDIR
+ You can use this along with make -f to build in a subdir. For instance,
+ on an x86_64 machine you could do:
+
+ mkdir build-ia32 build-x64 inst
+ cd build-ia32
+ setarch linux32 make TOPDIR=.. ARCH=ia32 -f ../Makefile
+ setarch linux32 make TOPDIR=.. ARCH=ia32 \
+ DESTDIR=../inst EFIDIR=debian \
+ -f ../Makefile install
+ cd ../build-x64
+ make TOPDIR=.. -f ../Makefile
+ make TOPDIR=.. DESTDIR=../inst EFIDIR=debian \
+ -f ../Makefile install
+
+ That would get you x86_64 and ia32 builds in the "inst" subdir.
+- OSLABEL
+ This is the label that will be put in BOOT$(EFI_ARCH).CSV for your OS.
+ By default this is the same value as EFIDIR .
