+- g++ version 5.1 or higher is required for full C++11 support. CMake release compile scripts, as well as CodeBlocks build environment for debug builds is included.
+
+If you want to compile the binary without installing libraries / compiler or just compile binary for some other distribution, please check the [build_xmr-stak_docker.sh script](scripts/build_xmr-stak_docker/build_xmr-stak_docker.sh).
+
+### To do a static build for a system without gcc 5.1+
+```
+    cmake -DCMAKE_LINK_STATIC=ON .
+    make install
+```
+Note - cmake caches variables, so if you want to do a dynamic build later you need to specify '-DCMAKE_LINK_STATIC=OFF'
