+# XMR-Stak-CPU - Monero mining software
 
 XMR-Stak is a universal Stratum pool miner. This is the CPU-mining version; there is also an [AMD GPU version](https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-amd) and an [NVIDA GPU version](https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-nvidia)

 This typically means you are trying to run it on a CPU that does not have [AES](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AES_instruction_set).  This only happens on older version of miner, new version gives better error message (but still wont' work since your CPU doesn't support the required instructions).
 
 
+## Advanced Compile Options
 
+The build system is CMake, if you are not familiar with CMake you can learn more [here](https://cmake.org/runningcmake/).
+
+### Short Description
+
+There are two easy ways to set variables for `cmake` to configure *xmr-stak-cpu*
+- use the ncurses GUI
+  - `ccmake .`
+  - edit your options
+  - end the GUI by pressing the key `c`(create) and than `g`(generate)
+- set Options on the command line
+  - enable a option: `cmake . -DNAME_OF_THE_OPTION=ON`
+  - disable a option `cmake . -DNAME_OF_THE_OPTION=OFF`
+  - set a value `cmake . -DNAME_OF_THE_OPTION=value`
+
+After the configuration you need to call
+`make install` for slow sequential build
+or
+`make -j install` for faster parallel build
+and install.
+
+### xmr-stak-cpu Compile Options
+- `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` install miner to the home folder
+  - `cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/xmr-stak-cpu`
+  - you can find the binary and the `config.txt` file after `make install` in `$HOME/xmr-stak-cpu/bin`
+-`CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` set the build type
+  - valid options: `Release` or `Debug`
+  - you should always keep `Release` for your productive miners
+- `MICROHTTPD_REQUIRED` allow to disable/enable the dependency *microhttpd*
+  - by default enabled
+  - there is no *http* interface available if option is disabled: `cmake . -DMICROHTTPD_REQUIRED=OFF`
+- `OpenSSL_REQUIRED`allow to disable/enable the dependency *OpenSSL*
+  - by default enabled
+  - it is not possible to connect to a *https* secured pool if optin is disabled: `cmake . -DOpenSSL_REQUIRED=OFF`
