+*** Compiling ***
+
+The project uses CMake for building. The recommended build procedure is as follows:
+
+ 1. Change into the build/ subdirectory of the source distribution tree
+
+    cd build
+
+ 2. Create the CMake build setup, either running `cmake ..` yourself, or using the provided script:
+
+    sh mkcmake.sh Release /path/to/install
+
+ 3. Compile the code using make, preferrably using -j on a multi-core platform :)
+    
+    make
+
+ 4. Install the resource files and the binary to $prefix/share/kg, $prefix/bin/kg
+    
+    make install
+
+ 5. You can now run the binary:
+
+    /path/to/install/bin/kg
