+### Building on OpenIndiana
+
+OpenIndiana needs some extra environment variables set to make sure it finds all the executables
+and directories it needs for the build to work. The cmake files are in a non-standard path that
+contains the Qt version (replace 6.2 with the Qt version you have installed) and you need to tell
+it to use clang and clang++, or it will use gcc and g++ from GCC 10 which is currently the default
+to build packages on OpenIndiana.
+
+When running Ladybird, make sure that XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set, or it will immediately crash as it
+doesn't find a writable directory for its sockets.
