$ cpack -G DEB
# dpkg -i logdiag-0.0-Linux-x86_64.deb
+# Building from sources on Windows
+
+First install CMake 2.8 and MinGW. Add both to the system path.
+If you want to build an installation package, also install NSIS.
+
+Run the following command in the directory with source files
+to automatically fetch and setup all dependencies:
+ > cmake -P Win32Depends.cmake
+
+Reserve a directory for an out-of-source build:
+ > mkdir build
+ > cd build
+
+Let CMake prepare the build:
+ > cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+
+Now you can generate a package with CPack. You may choose between:
+
+1. An NSIS-based installation package:
+ > cpack -G NSIS
+
+2. A portable ZIP package:
+ > cpack -G ZIP
+
+By default, that is if you specify no generator, both packages are built.
