 # Spectre 2D Engine
 
 A simple 2D Game engine from scratch!
+
+## Compiling
+
+This project uses [bam](http://matricks.github.io/bam/) build system
+(Version 0.5 or greater) to compile the engine.
+
+Just running `bam` in this directory will start build the source.
+
+The build will produce `spectre.lib` in the `build` directory that
+should be used when linking.
+
+You will also need to link against `FreeType2` that is located in
+`vendor/FreeType2/lib/x<86|64>/freetype-s.lib` (or `freetype-d-s.lib`
+for debug version)
