-Compiling instructions can be found in the [src](https://github.com/cnr-isti-vclab/meshlab/tree/master/src) folder or simply looking at the continous integration setup on [Github Actions](https://github.com/cnr-isti-vclab/meshlab/actions), [travis](https://travis-ci.org/cnr-isti-vclab/meshlab/builds) and [appveyor](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/cignoni/meshlab/history).
+You can also use [QtCreator](https://www.qt.io/product) to build meshlab:
+
+1. Install QtCreator and Qt >= 5.9 with `script` and `xmlpatterns` as additional packages;
+2. Open `meshlab.pro` inside `src`;
+3. Select your favourite shadow build directory;
+4. Before the build, deactive the `QtQuickCompiler` option from the qmake call in the project options;
+5. Build meshlab.
+
+A compilation with `cmake` is also supported. 
+
+We provide a set of scripts that allows to compile and deploy meshlab for every platform. You can find these scripts in the `install` folder.

+# Structure of the Repository

+The MeshLab repository is organized as follows:

+* `distrib`
+* `docs`
+* `install`
+* `sample`
