Suggestion: Build instructions & others #4

Description

@sbrl

I've found this and it looks cool, but your README doesn't tell me which operating systems are supported, or how to compile it from source.

Including these instructions & system requirements makes it easier for others to start using your program 😃

    Hi,
    {source} supports OS X and Windows.
    I have bought in the past {source} and it was installed via an installer so unfortunately I can't help you with building instructions.

    Regards,
    Erik

    @beugelaar Ah right. Should the README say that only Windows and Mac are supported? I'm on linux, so if that's true that this won't work.

    Hi, yes I think you are right but I have looked further. The app is build with MacGap, a webkit wrapper.
    It is a XCode project and I have looked quickly but I think you have to build it on a OS X machine using MacGap.

    First install MacGap:

    gem install macgap

    And then build the {source} app:

    macgap build myapp // the {source app} i think it is in the public folder -> win/mac

    Goodluck,
    Erik

    @beugelaar You have to build on a mac? I don't even know anyone with a mac, so I guess that's that for me using this project then!

    Thanks for the help anyway 😃

    Still, the author really should include build instructions in the README, because otherwise no-one will be able to figure out how to use it!
