 Currently the API is unstable and the whole thing is a work in progress. It
 requires C++14, just like OctaSTD does.
 
-You can compile your application with it like:
-
-    c++ myapp.cc cubescript.cc -o myapp -std=c++14 -Wall -Wextra -I. -Ipath/to/octastd
-
-It also supports building as a shared library. To do that, use the following
-command line:
-
-    c++ cubescript.cc -o libcubescript.so -std=c++14 -Wall -Wextra -I. -Ipath/to/octastd -shared -fPIC
+The supplied Makefile builds a static library on Unix-like OSes. Link this library
+together with your application and everything should just work.
