2. Building for Ubuntu desktop
==============================
-2.1. Minimum Requirements
+2.1. Requirements
------------------------
- - Ubuntu 14.04
+ - Ubuntu 14.04 or later
- Environment created using dali_env script in dali-core repository
+ - GCC version 6
+
+DALi requires a compiler supporting C++11 features.
+Ubuntu 16.04 is the first version to offer this by default (GCC v5.4.0).
+
+GCC version 6 is recommended since it has fixes for issues in version 5
+e.g. it avoids spurious 'defined but not used' warnings in header files.
2.2. Building the Repository
----------------------------
./configure --prefix=$DESKTOP_PREFIX
make install -j8
+3. Building for Windows
+=======================
+
+Third party dependencies are built using vcpkg. Instructions on how to install vcpkg can be found in the
+vcpkg-script folder in the windows-dependencies repository.
+
+- Download the windows-dependencies repository from DaliHub
+
+ $ git clone https://github.com/dalihub/windows-dependencies.git
+
+- Read the windows-dependencies/vcpkg-script/Readme.md file for more instructions on how to build and install the third-party dependencies.
+
