+BUILD INSTRUCTIONS
+==================
+
+**polkit** uses [meson build system](https://mesonbuild.com/) for configuration with *ninja* as backend and *gcc* as compiler.  
+To configure and compile your copy of polkit tarball, simply follow meson build instructions in the following manner:  
+```
+$ meson setup [[-D option]...] target_directory
+$ meson compile -C target_directory
+...
+# meson install -C target_directory
+```
+
+List of available configuration options can be obtained with `meson configure` command.
+
