+# Glog - CMake Support
+
+Glog comes with a CMake build script ([CMakeLists.txt](../CMakeLists.txt)) that can be used on a wide range of platforms.  
+If you don't have CMake installed already, you can download it for free from <http://www.cmake.org/>.
+
+CMake works by generating native makefiles or build projects that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice.  
+You can either build Glog with CMake as a standalone project or it can be incorporated into an existing CMake build for another project.

+## Building Glog with CMake
+
+When building Glog as a standalone project, on Unix-like systems with GNU Make as build tool, the typical workflow is:  
+
+1. Get the source code and change to it.
+e.g. cloning with git:
+```bash
+git clone git@github.com:google/glog.git
+cd glog
+```
+
+2. Run CMake to configure the build tree.
+```bash
+cmake -H. -Bbuild -G "Unix Makefiles"
+```
+note: To get the list of available generators (e.g. Visual Studio), use `-G ""`
+
+3. Afterwards, generated files can be used to compile the project.
+```bash
+cmake --build build
+```
+
+4. Test the build software (optional).
+```bash
+cmake --build build --target test
+```
+
+5. Install the built files (optional).
+```bash
+cmake --build build --target install
+```
+
+## Consuming Glog in a CMake Project
+
+If you have Glog installed in your system, you can use the CMake command
+`find_package()` to include it in your CMake Project.
+
+```cmake
+cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0.2)
+project(myproj VERSION 1.0)
+
+find_package(glog 0.4.0 REQUIRED)
+
+add_executable(myapp main.cpp)
+target_link_libraries(myapp glog::glog)
+```
+
+Compile definitions and options will be added automatically to your target as
+needed.
+
+## Incorporating Glog into a CMake Project
+
+You can also use the CMake command `add_subdirectory()` to include Glog directly from a subdirectory of your project.  
+The **glog::glog** target is in this case an ALIAS library target for the **glog** library target. 
+
+```cmake
+cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0.2)
+project(myproj VERSION 1.0)
+
+add_subdirectory(glog)
+
+add_executable(myapp main.cpp)
+target_link_libraries(myapp glog::glog)
+```
+
+Again, compile definitions and options will be added automatically to your target as
+needed.
