+After 'make', and 'make install', add libtag.a to your XCode project, and add
+the include folder to the project's User Header Search Paths.
+
+For Windows with Visual Studio 2010, cd to the taglib folder then:
+  md build
+  cd build
+  cmake -DENABLE_STATIC=ON -DENABLE_STATIC_RUNTIME=ON -G "Visual Studio 10" ..
+  
+Including ENABLE_STATIC_RUNTIME=ON indicates you want taglib built using the
+static runtime library, rather than the DLL form of the runtime.
+cmake will create a Visual Studio solution, taglib.sln that you can open and
+build as normal.
