-You have to pass in the cmake step some parameter to the script
-otherwise the CMakeLists.txt in the subdirectories are not created.
 
-   cmake <path_to_source> -DGENERATE_FILES=TRUE
+Note: The CMake build of AliRoot builds out-of-source
+
+Steps to Build AliRoot with CMake :
+
+1. Check out Aliroot source into any folder
+	
+	svn co http://alisoft.cern.ch/AliRoot/trunk ~/trunk
+
+2. Create a new folder and set the environment variable ALICE_ROOT to point to it
+	
+	mkdir AliRoot
+	cd AliRoot
+	export ALICE_ROOT=`pwd`
+
+3. Execute the following commands to build AliRoot
+
+	cmake <Path to Source>
+
+eg.	cmake ~/trunk
+	make
+
+4. In order to build addtional targets like THydjet and SHUTTLE add the following options to the cmake command
+
+	cmake -DTHydjet=ON -DSHUTTLE=ON <path_to_source>
+
+5. Static libraries can be built using
+
+	make alilibs-static
+
+6. Individual Modules can be built using
+
+	make <Module>-all
+	make <Module>-all-static 
+
+eg.	make STEER-all STEER-all-static
+
+7. Individual Packages can be built using
+
+	make <Package>
+	make <Package>-static
+
+eg.	make STEERbase STEERbase-static
+
+8. The code can be checked for the ALICE coding conventions on a package or module level using the following targets. 
+
+  make check-all
+  make <Module>-check-all
+  make <Package>-check
+
+  The resulting violations will be written to the folder $ALICE_ROOT/<Module>/check/viols
+
+!IMPORTANT! - Make sure your source folder is clean. If you used the old make system to build aliroot run make clean in the source directory before you run cmake
+ 
 
-is the correct command.
