 <h2>Compiling</h2>
-<p>To compile Kst 2, <a href="http://qt.nokia.com">Qt libraries</a> are the only required dependency. The recommended method is to use the <a href="http://qt.nokia.com/products/developer-tools/">QtCreator IDE</a> from Nokia.
-Install it, download the source code and then just open the kst.pro file in the top-level directory. 
-Use the menus to configure settings (debug, release) and compile the project.<br/>
-You may want to check for the following optional libraries prior to compiling Kst, as they will give you some benefits:</p>
+<p>To compile Kst 2, <a href="http://qt.nokia.com">Qt libraries</a> are the only required dependency. The recommended method is to use the <a href="http://qt.nokia.com/products/developer-tools/">QtCreator IDE</a> from Nokia in combination with <a href="http://www.cmake.org/">CMake</a>. <br/>
+When using this combination, all you have to do is download the source code and the tools, and then go to the File->Open menu in Qt Creator and open the CMakeLists.txt file in the cmake/ subdir of the root directory.</p>
+<u>Notes:</u>
+<ol> 
+  <li>The 2.0.4 release does not work out-of-the box with qmake (see <a href="http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kst/2011-September/020079.html">this thread</a> on the mailing list for the required changes or use revision 1253670). Qmake will very likely be deprecated at some point in the near future.</li>
+  <li>Even though they are not required dependencies, you may want to check for the libraries listed in the next section prior to compiling Kst, as they will give you some benefits.
