-## Building on GNOME 3
-
-SparkleShare now successfully runs on the GNOME 3 platform!  
-Here's how you compile it against GTK+3 and other dependencies.
-
-You will still need to have the regular build dependencies installed:  
-https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare/blob/master/SparkleShare/Linux/README.md
-
-The C# bindings that SparkleShare uses need to be recompiled against GTK+3, so  
-you will need to get the the dependencies from the specific locations listed  
-below, where they are GTK+3-enabled.
-
-Install the `gtk-sharp3` bindings from:  
-https://github.com/mono/gtk-sharp  
-Or on Ubuntu, get it from this PPA:  
-https://launchpad.net/~meebey/+archive/mono-preview
-
-Install the `notify-sharp` bindings from:  
-https://git.gnome.org/browse/notify-sharp/
-
-Install the `soup-sharp` and `webkitgtk-sharp` bindings from:  
-https://github.com/xDarkice/soup-sharp  
-https://github.com/xDarkice/webkitgtk-sharp
-
-All with the usual:
-
-```
-./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
-make
-sudo make install
-```
-
-### Ubuntu
-
-If you're using Ubuntu, install `appindicator-sharp` bindings from:

+gtk-sharp3
 mono-core >= 2.8
 notify-sharp
-webkit-sharp
+webkitgtk-sharp
