+QMenuModel - a Qt/QML binding for GMenuModel
+(see http://developer.gnome.org/gio/unstable/GMenuModel.html)
+
+
+= Building =
+
+The build system uses cmake.
+To compile, simply invoke cmake and then make, e.g.:
+
+    $ cmake .
+    $ make
+
+
+= Running unit tests =
+
+To run the unit tests, you will need dbus-test-runner. If it wasn’t previously
+installed, install it and then re-run cmake. Then run either of these commands:
+
+    $ make test
+
+      - or -
+
+    $ ctest
+
+
+= Getting code coverage information =
+
+To run the unit tests and generate code coverage information, you need to re-run
+cmake with BUILD_WITH_COVERAGE set to ON and then invoke `make lcov`.
+This requires lcov to be installed.
+
+    $ cmake -DBUILD_WITH_COVERAGE=ON .
+    $ make lcov
+
+This will generate a report (coverage/index.html) which you can view in a
+browser.
+
+
+= API documentation =
+
+To generate API documentation, you need to re-run cmake with GENERATE_DOC set to
+ON and then invoke `make qdoc`. This requires qdoc3 to be installed.
+
+    $ cmake -DGENERATE_DOC=ON .
+    $ make qdoc
+
+The documentation is generated in the HTML format under doc/html/.
+
+
+= Examples =
+
+There are examples of how to use QDBusMenuModel in QML, refer to the README file
+under the examples/ directory for instructions.
