+Experimental cmake-based build support for mod_h2 on Microsoft Windows
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+The following tools must be in PATH:
+
+* cmake, version 2.8 or later
+* compiler and linker and related tools
+
+The following support libraries are mandatory:
+* APR and APR_UTIL built using cmake
+* nghttp2 built using cmake
+* httpd built using cmake (Read the README.cmake there).
+
+How to build
+------------
+
+1. cd to a clean directory for building (i.e., don't build in your
+   source tree)
+
+2. Make sure cmake and build environment are in PATH and set the platform (call vcvars64 for example).
+
+3. cmake -G "some backend, like "'Visual Studio 17 2022'"
+   -DAPR_INCLUDE_DIR=/path/to/aprinst/include/
+   -DAPRUTIL_INCLUDE_DIR=/path/to/aprutilinst/include/
+   -DAPACHE_INCLUDE_DIR=/path/to/httpdinst/include/
+   -DAPR_LIBRARY=/path/to/aprinst/lib/libapr-1.lib
+   -DAPRUTIL_LIBRARY=/path/to/aprutilinst/lib/libaprutil-1.lib
+   -DAPACHE_LIBRARY=/path/to/httpdinst/lib/libhttpd.lib
+   -DPROXY_LIBRARY=/path/to/httpdinst/lib/mod_proxy.lib 
+   -DNGHTTP2_LIBRARIES=/path/to/nghttp2inst/lib/nghttp2.lib
+   -DNGHTTP2_INCLUDE_DIR=/path/to/nghttp2inst/include/
+   path/to/mod_h2sources
+
+4. Build using the chosen generator (e.g., "MSBuild ALL_BUILD.vcxproj -t:build -p:Configuration=Release"
+   for cmake's "Visual Studio 17 2022" generator).
+
+5. copy the *.so files from Release to /path/to/httpdinst/modules
+
+Note: The apachelounge distribution doesn't contain nghttp2.h.
+      Use cmake from nghttp2 to build the library and copy the include file.
