+#
+# This is a build system used by platform maintainers to build library dependencies on
+# Windows and macOS. There is some support for Linux as well, but not ready for releases.
+#
+# Windows and macOS users should download the precompiled libraries in lib/, Linux users
+# should run install_deps.sh for building dependencies.
+#
+# WINDOWS USAGE:
+#   Don't call this cmake file your self, use build_deps.cmd
+#   build_deps 2013 x64 / build_deps 2013 x86
+#   build_deps 2015 x64 / build_deps 2015 x86
+#
+# MAC OS X USAGE:
+#	Install with homebrew: brew install autoconf automake libtool yasm openssl xz
+#   Run "make deps" from main Blender directory
+#
+# LINUX USAGE:
+#   Install compiler, cmake, autoconf, automake, libtool, yasm
+#   Run "make deps" from main Blender directory
