 libam7xxx uses the linux kernel coding style:
 http://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/CodingStyle
 
+=== Getting and compiling libam7xxx
+
+libam7xxx depends on 'libusb-1.0' and optionally on 'libav' or 'ffmpeg' for
+its example programs, the build system used is 'cmake'.
+
+On a Debian based system, the dependencies can be installed with this command:
+
+  $ sudo aptitude install cmake \
+                          libusb-1.0-0-dev \
+                          libavformat-dev \
+                          libavcodec-dev \
+                          libavdevice-dev \
+                          libswscale-dev
+
+The library and the example programs can be compiled following these steps:
+
+  $ git clone git://git.ao2.it/libam7xxx.git
+  $ cd libam7xxx
+  $ mkdir build
+  $ cd build
+  $ cmake ../
+  $ make
+
+After that the example programs can be found in the +bin/+ subdirectory.
+
 === Debug builds
 
 The suggested way to hack on the project is:
 
   $ mkdir build
   $ cd build
-  $ cmake ../ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug -DSTRICT_COMPILATION_CHECKS=ON
+  $ cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug -D STRICT_COMPILATION_CHECKS=ON ../
   $ make
 
 If you want to check the code with the ''sparse'' static analysis tool you

   $ cd build
-  $ cmake ../ -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=cgcc
+  $ cmake -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER=cgcc ../
+  $ make
+
+=== Cross Builds
+
+If you want to build for MS Windows:
+
+  $ sudo aptitude install mingw-w64
+  $ mkdir build
+  $ cd build
+  $ wget -nv http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusbx/files/releases/1.0.11/Windows/libusbx-1.0.11-win.7z

+  $ wget -nv http://win32.libav.org/win32/libav-win32-20120521.7z
+  $ 7z x libav-win32-20120521.7z
+  $ cmake  \
+          -D GNU_HOST=i686-w64-mingw32 \
+          -D CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake_modules/mingw_cross_toolchain.cmake \
+          -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=libam7xxx-win/ \
+          -D LIBUSB_1_INCLUDE_DIR=libusbx-1.0.11-win/include/libusbx-1.0 \
+          -D LIBUSB_1_LIBRARY=libusbx-1.0.11-win/MinGW32/dll/libusb-1.0.dll \
+          -D FFMPEG_ROOT=$(pwd)/libav-win32-20120521/usr \
+          ../
   $ make
 
+After that you will find libam7xxx.dll in lib/ and picoproj.exe in the bin/
+directory.
