+How to build FlightGear
+=======================
+
+FlightGear uses the CMake build system to generate a platform-specific
+build environment.  CMake reads the CMakeLists.txt files that you'll
+find throughout the source directories, checks for installed
+dependencies and then generates the appropriate build system.
+
+If you don't already have CMake installed on your system you can grab
+it from http://www.cmake.org, use version 2.6.4 or later.
+
+Under unices (i.e. Linux, Solaris, Free-BSD, HP-Ux, OSX) use the cmake
+or ccmake command-line utils. Preferably, create an out-of-source
+build directory and run cmake or ccmake from there. The advantage to
+this approach is that the temporary files created by CMake won't
+clutter the source directory, and also makes it possible to have
+multiple independent build targets by creating multiple build
+directories. In a directory alongside the FlightGear source directory
+use:
+
+    mkdir fgbuild
+    cd fgbuild
+    cmake ../flightgear -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+    make
+    sudo make install
