-Prerequisites
----
-librime is tested to work on Windows with the following build tools and libraries:
   - Visual Studio 2015
-  - [Boost](http://www.boost.org/)>=1.60
-  - [cmake](http://www.cmake.org/)>=2.8
-  
-[Python](https://python.org)>=2.7 is needed to build opencc dictionaries.
+  - [Boost](http://www.boost.org/)=1.60
+  - [cmake](http://www.cmake.org/)>=3.8
+
+Boost and cmake versions need to match higher VS version.
 
-You may need to update Boost when using a higher version of VS.
+[Python](https://python.org)>=2.7 is needed to build opencc dictionaries.
 
-You can also build third-party libraries manually, by following instructions in the build script.

 ``` batch

 ```
 or [download from GitHub](https://github.com/rime/librime).
 
-Setup a build environment
----
-Copy `env.bat.template` to `env.bat` and edit the script according to your setup.
-Specifically, make sure `BOOST_ROOT` is set to the path to Boost source directory;
-modify `CMAKE_GENERATOR` and `PLATFORM_TOOLSET` if using a different version of Visual Studio;
-set `DEVTOOLS_PATH` for build tools installed to a custom location.
+## Setup a build environment

+Copy `env.bat.template` to `env.bat` and edit the file according to your setup.
+Specifically, make sure `BOOST_ROOT` is set to the root directory of Boost
+source tree; modify `BJAM_TOOLSET`, `CMAKE_GENERATOR` and `PLATFORM_TOOLSET` if
+using a different version of Visual Studio; also set `DEVTOOLS_PATH` for build
+tools installed to custom location.
 
-When prepared, run the following commands in a Developer Command Prompt window.

-Build Boost

 ``` batch
 build.bat boost
 ```
 
-Build third-party libraries
----
+## Build third-party libraries
+
 ``` batch
 build.bat thirdparty
 ```
-This builds dependent libraries in `thirdparty\src\*`, and copies artifacts to `thirdparty\lib` and `thirdparty\bin`.

+`thirdparty\lib` and `thirdparty\bin`.
+
+## Build librime
 
-Build librime
----
 ``` batch
 build.bat librime
 ```
 This creates `build\lib\Release\rime.dll`.
 
-Try it in the console
----
+Build artifacts - the shared library along with API headers and supporting files
+are gathered in `dist` directory.
+
+## Try it in the console
+
+`librime` comes with a REPL application which can be used to test if the library
+is working.
+
 ``` batch
 copy /Y build\lib\Release\rime.dll build\bin
 cd build\bin
-echo "congmingdeRime{space}shurufa" | Release\rime_api_console.exe > output.txt
+echo congmingdeRime{space}shurufa | Release\rime_api_console.exe > output.txt
 ```
+
+Instead of redirecting output to a file, you can set appropriate code page
+(`chcp 65001`) and font in the console to work with the REPL interactively.
