+
+This README file describes how to set up your build environment, build
+samples, and run tests.
+
+BUILD ENVIRONMENT:
+==================
+We assume that you have a version of the Visual Studio IDE installed. You can
+download a free copy of the Visual Studio IDE from
+https://visualstudio.microsoft.com. During Visual Studio installation, make
+sure that C/C++ tools are installed and that the Windows SDK is installed.
+
+Clone the Detours git repo to a directory on your machine. Choose a directory
+that does not have spaces in the full path name.
+
+BUILDING:
+=========
+Open a Developer Command Prompt for VS. Note there are several different
+flavors of the command prompt for different target architectures. The
+default Visual Studio Command prompt targets x86. To target x64, choose
+the "X64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS"
+
+Change directory to the samples directory for your git repo. To build the
+samples, type "nmake".
+
+Note that you must build setdll and syslog in order to use many of the
+other sample programs.
+
+INSTALLING AND BUILDING VIA VCPKG:
+==================================
+You can download and install detours using the vcpkg(https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) dependency manager:
+
+ git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
+ cd vcpkg
+ ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
+ ./vcpkg integrate install
+ vcpkg install detours
+
+The detours port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please create an issue or pull request(https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) on the vcpkg repository.
+
+TESTING:
+========
+Each of the sample directories has a test, which can be invoked by typing
+"nmake test", to demonstrate the usage of the sample. With very few
+exceptions, all of the executables also accept a "/?" command to display a
+usage message.
+
+To run all sample tests, change directory to the samples directory and type
+"nmake test". Note that some samples are architecture-specific. Tests for
+those samples be run only on supported architectures and will be skipped on
+other architectures.
+
+COMMENTS:
+=========
+The trace* samples log their output through the syelogd.exe daemon and hook
+CreateProcessW to load themselves into any child processes. For example,
+typing "withdll -d:traceapi.dll cmd.exe" will create a command shell under
+which all processes log their API calls through traceapi.dll.
