+## ABOUT WAF

 Waf is a Python-based framework for configuring, compiling and installing applications. Here are perhaps the most important features of Waf:

 For researchers and build system writers, Waf also provides a framework for creating [custom build systems](https://github.com/waf-project/waf/tree/master/build_system_kit) and [package distribution systems](https://github.com/waf-project/waf/tree/master/playground/distnet/README.rst).

+## HOW TO CREATE THE WAF SCRIPT
+
+Python >= 2.6 3.4 is required to generate the waf script, and the resulting file can then run on Python 2.5.
+Just execute:
+```sh
+$ ./waf-light configure build
+```
+Or, if you have several python versions installed:
+```sh
+$ python3 ./waf-light configure build
+```
+
+The Waf tools in waflib/extras are not added to the waf script. To add
+some of them, use the --tools switch:
+```sh
+$ ./waf-light --tools=compat15,swig
+```
+
+To add a tool that does not exist in the folder extras, pass an absolute path, and
+to customize the initialization, pass the parameter 'prelude'. Here is for example
+how to create a waf file using the compat15 module:
+```sh
+$ ./waf-light --tools=compat15 --prelude=$'\tfrom waflib.extras import compat15\n'
+```
+
+Any kind of initialization is possible, though one may prefer the build system kit (folder build\_system\_kit):
+```sh
+$ ./waf-light --make-waf --tools=compat15,/comp/waf/aba.py --prelude=$'\tfrom waflib.extras import compat15\n\tprint("ok")'
+```
+
+Or, to avoid regenerating the waf file all the time, just set the `WAFDIR` environment variable to the directory containing "waflib".

+## HOW TO TRY THE EXAMPLES

+Try this:
+```sh
+cp waf demos/c/
+cd demos/c/
+./waf configure build
