-1. Obtain [premake4](http://industriousone.com/premake/download).
-2. Copy premake4 executable to `rapidjson/build` (or system path).
-3. Change directory to `rapidjson/build/`, run `premake.bat` on Windows, `premake.sh` on Linux or other platforms.
-4. On Windows, build the solution at `rapidjson/build/vs2008/` or `/vs2010/`.
-5. On other platforms, run GNU `make` at `rapidjson/build/gmake/` (e.g., `make -f test.make config=release32`; `make -f example.make config=debug32`).
-6. On success, the executables are generated at `rapidjson/bin`.
