 Build
 =====
 
-Launch xcode and load the project. Select the desired configuration and build.
+-Install dependencies using brew or port (libjpeg, libpng, freetype…)
+-Launch the CMake GUI application
+-Click Browse Source… button, navigate to your openclonk repository folder
+-Also Specify location where you want to build
+-Click Configure and use default native compilers
+-Wait
+-<Potentially include additional steps to make CMake find the right libraries>
+-If you want 64-bit builds, go set the CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES setting to "x86_64"
+	-For universal builds set it to "x86_64 i386", but then you'll also need universal versions of the dependencies
+-Click Configure button again for good measure
+-Click Generate
+-Launch xcode and load the project. Select the desired configuration and build.
 
 It should be pretty straight forward, hopefully.
