+# Building
+
+Install devel packages for `SDL2` and `SDL2_mixer`.\
+
+Compile with CMake; tested with GCC 10, Clang 11.\
+To cross-compile for Windows, install a 64-bit version of mingw and its `SDL2` and `SDL2_mixer` distributions, then use the `mingwcc.cmake` toolchain.
+
+```bash
+# On Debian and Ubuntu
+sudo apt install cmake build-essential ninja-build libsdl2-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0 libsdl2-2.0-0 fluidsynth
+
+# On Fedora
+sudo dnf install cmake ninja-build SDL2 SDL2-devel SDL2_mixer SDL2_mixer-devel fluidsynth fluidsynth-libs mscore-fonts g++
+
+# Build
+cmake -GNinja .
+ninja
+```
+
+**If you can't hear the background music**: You need to export the following variable before launching the game like this:
+`export SDL_SOUNDFONT=/path/to/your/soundfont`
+
+Fluidsynth will install a default soundfont in the following path:
+On Fedora: `/usr/share/soundfonts/FluidR3_GM.sf2`
+On Ubuntu/Debian: `/usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2`

+                <p>First release of cross-platform port.</p>
+                <p>Main highlights:</p>
+                <ul>
+                    <li>Windows dependencies removed.</li>
+                    <li>Graphics and sounds rendered with SDL.</li>
+                    <li>Dear ImGui GUI.</li>
+                    <li>CMake build script, compiles on a lot of platforms.</li>
+                    <li>A number of 3rd party source ports.</li>
+                </ul>
+                <p>All features of v1.x are present, except for text translations.</p>
+                <p>
+                    Development and releases of v1.x will continue, don’t confuse the two.
+                    All source ports are technically v2.0RC, not v1.x.
+                </p>
+
+                <p>There are no Linux or macOS binaries attached, compile them yourself.</p>

+                    This release was made better with the help of contributors.
