-Building OCCT Libraries {#dev_guides__building}
+Building OCCT from sources {#occt_dev_guides__building}
=========
-The source package of the Open CASCADE Technology including the source files of samples
-and tools and the set of building procedures is available for self-dependent preparation
-binary files on UNIX and Windows platforms.
-
-In order to build OCCT libraries from these sources for use in your program,
-you need to:
-
-1. Install the required third-party libraries.
-
- Follow the instructions provided in the documents titled "Building 3rd party
- products for OCCT" on http://dev.opencascade.org/?q=home/resources for
- choice of the needed libraries, their installation and building.
-
-2. If you use OCCT sources from Git repository or do come changes affecting
- CDL files or dependencies of OCCT toolkit, update header files generated
- from CDL, and regenerate build scripts for your environment using WOK.
- See \subpage dev_guides__building__wok "WOK" for details.
-
- Skip to step 3 if you use complete source package (e.g. official OCCT
- release) without changes in CDL.
-
-3. Build using your preferred build tool.

+Before building OCCT, make sure to have all the required third-party libraries installed.
+The list of required libraries depends on what OCCT modules will be used, and your preferences.
+The typical minimum is **Freetype** (necessary for Visualization) and **Tcl/Tk** (for DRAW Test Harness).
+See "Third-party libraries" section in \ref OCCT_OVW_SECTION_5 "Overview" for a full list.
+
+On Windows, the easiest way to install third-party libraries is to download archive with pre-built binaries from https://www.opencascade.com/content/3rd-party-components.
+On Linux and OS X, it is recommended to use the version installed in the system natively.
