+
+CMake
+=====
+
+This project uses CMake to generate build files and project files for your platform.
+
+Create a build directory in the root of your checkout and then run the CMake build from there. This will keep the rest of the directory clean, and makes the gitignore a little easier to handle, since we can just ignore build.
+
+    mkdir build
+    cd build
+    cmake .. -GXCode
+
+Those are the commands used on OS X to run CMake from the build folder and generate XCode project files.
