+# Erlang module
+
+Build a Pmodule for Erlang. This module depends on wxWidgets and OpenSSL.
+
+***Please note:***
+
+After running the build script, the dependency files `$ERLANG_PREFIX/.dependencies` must be patched by hand. For the time being dependencies like `Libraries:wxWidgets/3.0.5` are not supported in the variant files but in the dependency file of the module. The dependency file must look like:
+```
+openssl/1.1.1m
+Libraries:wxWidgets/3.0.5
+```

+Erlang is a programming language used to build massively scalable soft
+real-time systems with requirements on high availability. Some of its
+uses are in telecoms, banking, e-commerce, computer telephony and
+instant messaging. Erlang's runtime system has built-in support for
+concurrency, distribution and fault tolerance.
