 ### Building
-The project is developed as a "CMake project" in Visual Studio 2019, while using `ninja` as a build driver. The binary can be successfully built by native MSVC compiler `cl` or by LLVM `clang-cl` (Clang drop in replacement for MSVC compiler).
 
-Building with `clang-cl` may provide some additional challenges which however should not surprise anyone who is using this compiler and as such is already accustomed to some roughing.
+#### Building with CMake
+The project is developed as a "CMake project" in Visual Studio 2019/2022, while using `ninja` as a build driver. The binary can be successfully built by native MSVC compiler `cl` or by LLVM `clang-cl` (Clang drop in replacement for MSVC compiler).
 
 To have the automatic versioning working correctly, CMake scripts expect the build to happen in a locally cloned `git` repository.
+
+#### Building with Conan
+The batch file in `conan` subfolder creates all Conan generated files for the Visual Studio CMake integration (using `CMakeSettings.json`) to work correctly.
+
+The advantage is that all external dependencies (all except `LibOVR` which does not have a public Conan package) can be setup by Conan. This would also ensure that the local build corresponds to the released binary.
