-##### Building radare2
-**/!\ WARNING /!\ This will delete your current radare2 version if any already installed.**
+Building on linux:
 ```sh
-git submodule init radare2 && git submodule update radare2
-cd radare2 && ./sys/install.sh
-cd ..
+./build.sh
 ```
 
-##### Building cutter
-
-Cutter can be build with two methods: The preferred one is with qmake, but you can also compile it with cmake. Choose the one you want to use.
-
-- Method 1: Qmake
-```sh
-mkdir build
-cd build
-qmake ../src
-make
+Building on Windows:
+```batch
+set ARCH=x64
+set PYTHON=C:\Python36-x64
+prepare_r2.bat
+build.bat
 ```
 
-- Method 2: CMake
-```sh
-mkdir build
-cd build
-cmake ../src
-make
-```
-
-Then run cutter: `./Cutter` or `./build/Cutter`
-
-Note: If radare2 is not installed system-wide (`./sys/user.sh` installation for instance) you might want to use  `LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/bin/prefix/radare2/lib ./Cutter` to run cutter.
-
-
-## Troubleshooting
+If any of those do not work, check the more detailed version [here](https://github.com/radareorg/cutter/blob/master/docs/Compiling.md).
 
 Check this [page](https://github.com/radareorg/cutter/blob/master/docs/Common-errors.md) for common issues.
 
-On Mac, QT5 apps fail to build on QtCreator if you have the libjpeg lib installed with brew. Run this command to workaround the issue:
-
-	sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.dylib /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.dylib.not-found
-	
-If you encounter the `Project ERROR: r_core development package not found` try one of this commands instead:
-
-- `PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/bin/prefix/radare2/lib/pkgconfig qmake`
-- `PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/cutter/radare2/pkgcfg qmake` (for modern version and if radare2 was installed like the submodule)
-
 ## Platforms
 
 Cutter is developed on OS X, Linux and Windows. The first release for users will include installers for all three platforms.

-# Compiling on Windows
-
-## Cloning the project
-
-Make sure that when cloning the project you use `git clone --recurse-submodules` or run `git submodule init` and `git submodule update` to clone the [iaito_win32](https://github.com/mrexodia/iaito_win32) submodule.
-
-## Setting up Qt 5.6.2
-
-It is advised to use [Qt 5.6.2](https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.6/5.6.2) to compile on Windows. Install one of the packages (MinGW or MSVC) before you start. If you want to use a different Qt version, make sure to change the commands below accordingly.
-
-## Building Iaito
-
-There are two main methods to build Iaito. Choose the one you prefer.
-
-#### Building with Qt Creator
-
-See [Adding Kits](http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-targets.html) for documentation on how to setup Qt kits (this works for both MinGW and MSVC). Once you have set up a kit simply open `Iaito.pro`, select a kit and compile.
-
-#### Building with CMake
-
-In the project root, run:
-
-```batch
-set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=c:\Qt\qt-5.6.2-msvc2013-x86\5.6\msvc2013\lib\cmake
-mkdir build-cmake
-cd build-cmake
-cmake-gui ../src
-```
-
-Click `Configure` and select `Visual Studio 12 2013` from the list. After configuration is done, click `Generate` and you can open `Iaito.sln` to compile the code as usual.
-
-## Deploying/Running Iaito
-
-**These steps are required to get iaito.exe to run.**
-
-You can use the following commands to deploy a standalone version of Iaito for your friends (assuming you have copied `iaito.exe` to a new empty directory and opened a terminal there).
-
-```batch
-set PATH=%PATH%;c:\Qt\qt-5.6.2-msvc2013-x86\5.6\msvc2013\bin
-windeployqt iaito.exe
-```
-
-After this you will need to add the following files next to `iaito.exe` (they can usually be found in your system directories, OpenSSL binaries can be found [here](https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html)):
-
-```
-libeay32.dll
-ssleay32.dll
-MSVCP120.dll
-MSVCR120.dll
-```
-
-After that you have to extract the [recommended radare2 version](https://github.com/mrexodia/iaito_win32/releases/latest) (`radare2-XXXXXX.zip`) in this directory so that you have `iaito.exe` and `libr_core.dll` next to each other.
-
-Starting `iaito.exe` should open the GUI. Typing `?d call` in the command bar should show you:
-
-> calls a subroutine, push eip into the stack (esp)

 ## Troubleshooting
 
 Depending on how Qt installed (Distribution packages or using the Qt installer application), CMake may not be able to find it by itself if it is not in a common place. If that is the case, double check that the correct Qt version is installed. Locate its prefix (a directory containing bin/, lib/, include/, etc.) and specify it to CMake using `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH` in the above process, e.g.:

+# Compiling Cutter
+
+Cutter supports different build systems:
+
+* Building with qmake
+* [Building with cmake](https://github.com/radareorg/cutter/blob/master/docs/Compiling-with-CMake.md)
+* Building with meson (see ./meson.py)
+
+Each time in the section below, the prefered method will be explained. For other methods check associated documentation.
+
+## Requirements
+
+* Qt (version differs from time to time but >= 5.6.1 should be fine)
+* Radare2 (version changes, see `git submodule` to check the exact version)
+* Python 3.6
+
+### Compiling on Linux / OsX
+
+The easy way is to simply run `./build.sh` from the root directory, and let the magic happen. The script will use qmake to build Cutter.
+
+If you want to manually use qmake, follow this steps:
+```
+mkdir build; cd build
+qmake ../src/Cutter.pro
+make
+cd ..
+```
+
+### Compiling on Windows
+
+The easy way to compile on Windows is to run:
+
+```
+set PYTHON=C:\Python36-x64
+set ARCH=x64
+prepare_r2.bat
+build.bat
+```
