+Building libbpf
+===============
+
+libelf and zlib are internal dependencies of libbpf and thus are required to link
+against and must be installed on the system for applications to work.
+pkg-config is used by default to find libelf, and the program called
+can be overridden with PKG_CONFIG.
+
+If using pkg-config at build time is not desired, it can be disabled by
+setting NO_PKG_CONFIG=1 when calling make.
+
+To build both static libbpf.a and shared libbpf.so:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ cd src
+    $ make
+
+To build only static libbpf.a library in directory build/ and install them
+together with libbpf headers in a staging directory root/:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ cd src
+    $ mkdir build root
+    $ BUILD_STATIC_ONLY=y OBJDIR=build DESTDIR=root make install
+
+To build both static libbpf.a and shared libbpf.so against a custom libelf
+dependency installed in /build/root/ and install them together with libbpf
+headers in a build directory /build/root/:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ cd src
+    $ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/build/root/lib64/pkgconfig DESTDIR=/build/root make
