+Polkit-qt's build system uses cmake.
+
+So to compile Polkit-qt first create a build dir
+
+ mkdir build
+ cd build
+
+then run cmake:
+
+ cmake ..
+
+(a typical cmake option that is often used is: -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<prefix>)
+
+cmake then presents a configuration summary. At this point you may
+want to install missing dependancies (if you do, remove the CMakeCache.txt)
+and run cmake again.
+
+Finally build Polkit-qt:
+
+ make
+
+And install it (in most cases root privileges are required):
+
+ make install
+
+That's all :)
