+Example for CMake build system.
+
+Compile OpenCV with cmake, preferently in an off-tree build, for example:
+
+ $ mkdir opencv-release
+ $ cd opencv-release
+ $ cmake <OPENCV_SRC_PATH>
+ $ make
+
+And, *only optionally*, install it with.
+ $ sudo make install
+
+Then create the binary directory for the example with:
+ $ mkdir example-release
+ $ cd example-release
+
+Then, if "make install" have been executed, directly running
+ $ cmake <OPENCV_SRC_PATH>/samples/c/example_cmake/
+will detect the "OpenCVConfig.cmake" file and the project is ready to compile.
+
+If "make install" has not been executed, you'll have to manually pick the opencv 
+binary directory (Under Windows CMake may remember the correct directory). Open
+the CMake gui with:
+ $ cmake-gui <OPENCV_SRC_PATH>/samples/c/example_cmake/
+
+And pick the correct value for OpenCV_DIR.
