+# Description
+This example shows how to setup CMake to build C++ project which uses ECL library.
+
+In `src/lisp` is definition of `core-lisp` system that's being loaded into C++
+program.
+
+Functions defined in `src/lisp/core-lisp.lisp`:
+```
+(defun hello-world () (format t "Hello World!~%"))
+```
+are used in `src/cxx/main.cpp`:
+```
+extern "C" {
+  extern void init_lib_CORE_LISP(cl_object);
+}
+
+int main(int argc, char** argv) {
+  cl_boot(argc, argv);
+  ecl_init_module(NULL, init_lib_CORE_LISP);
+  cl_eval(c_string_to_object("(hello-world)"));
+  cl_shutdown();
+  return 0;
+}
+```
+
+## CMakeLists.txt
+For more information about setup read `CMakeLists.txt` comments.
+
+# Build
+Run:
+```
+$ mkdir build
+$ cd build
+```
+If ECL is built and installed with non-default prefix use:
+
+```
+$ cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/user/local_prefix/ ..
+```
+
+Otherwise you don't have to set `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH`:
+```
+$ cmake ..
+```
+
+Finally run:
+```
+$ make
+```
+
+It shall produce: `cmake_ecl` executable and `core-lisp.a` static library that
+has been linked to executable.
+
+
+# Run
+```
+$ ./cmake_ecl
+Hello World!
+```
+
+# Notes
+  1. You don't have to remove `./build` directory if you want to change option
+     in `CMakeLists.txt`. Just run `make`.
+
+  2. If you see `undefined reference` errors look at `nm --demangle core-lisp.a`
+     output. You may have forgot setting `:init-name` in `CMakeLists.txt`
+     
+  3. To reuse this example you must copy `cmake` directory to your project. It
+     contains `FindECL.cmake`
+     
+  4. You don't have to have `ecl` executable in `$PATH` environment variable.
+     `FindECL.cmake` shall find it.
