+### Build DPC++ application with CMake
+
+DPC++ applications can be built with CMake by simply using DPC++ as the C++
+compiler and by adding the SYCL specific flags. For example assuming `clang++`
+is on the `PATH`, a minimal `CMakeLists.txt` file for the sample above would be:
+
+```cmake
+cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
+
+# Modifying the compiler should be done before the project line
+set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "clang++")
+set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -fsycl")
+
+project(simple-sycl-app)
+
+add_executable(simple-sycl-app simple-sycl-app.cpp)
+```
+
+NOTE: compiling SYCL programs requires passing the SYCL flags to `clang++` for
+both the compilation and linking stages, so using `add_compile_options` to pass
+the SYCL flags is not enough on its own, they should also be passed to
+`add_link_options`, or more simply the SYCL flags can just be added to
+`CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS`.
+
+NOTE: When linking a SYCL application, `clang++` will implicitly link it against
+`libsycl.so`, so there is no need to add `-lsycl` to `target_link_libraries` in
+the CMake.
