+== Cross Compiling for ARM devices ==
+
+If you need to make ARM builds you might find useful the [https://github.com/mariospr/webkit2gtk-ARM resources hosted in this git repository] which basically provide a [https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.6/manual/cmake-toolchains.7.html#cross-compiling-for-linux CMake Toolchain File] to build WebKit2GTK+, together with instructions on how to setup a local chroot environment to use it, so that both the environment and the build are reproducible.
+
+Wrapping up the instructions in there a bit, you'd basically have to follow 3 steps (or 2, after the initial setup):
+  1. Create the chroot and provision it, using the [https://github.com/mariospr/webkit2gtk-ARM/blob/master/bootstrap.sh bootstrap script] provided (only once)
+  2. Configure the build as you please, pointing to the [https://github.com/mariospr/webkit2gtk-ARM/blob/master/armv7l-toolchain.cmake CMake Toolchain provided], which you placed somewhere in your disk
+{{{
+  $ mkdir /path/to/your/WebKit/BUILD && cd /path/to/your/WebKit/BUILD
+  $ cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/armv7l-toolchain.cmake \
+        -DPORT=GTK \
+        -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
+        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR=/etc \
+        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LOCALSTATEDIR=/var \
+        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
+        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf \
+        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBEXECDIR=lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf \
+        -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON \
+        -DENABLE_PLUGIN_PROCESS_GTK2=OFF \
+        -DENABLE_GEOLOCATION=OFF \
+        -DENABLE_GLES2=ON \
+        -DUSE_LD_GOLD=OFF \
+        -DUSE_GSTREAMER_GL=ON \
+        /path/to/your/WebKit
+}}}
+  3. Build it:
+{{{
+  $ make VERBOSE=1 -j12    # Or anything else, this is just what I use
+}}}
+
+This has been tested with WebKit2GTK 2.12.x and 2.14.x releases as well as with trunk. If you find any issue/comment, please comment on the [https://github.com/mariospr/webkit2gtk-ARM github repo], or open a pull request.
