 == Building on Linux with mxe ==
 
-With this approach you can build a windows binary on Linux using mxe MXE (M cross environment).
-You can find the build script and a README file in the ms-windows/mxe directory.
+With this approach you can cross build a Windows binary on Linux using MXE (M cross environment).
+You can find the build script and a README.md file in the ms-windows/mxe directory.
 
 For now, Python buildings cannot be built with mxe.
 
-=== Initial setup ===
+=== Building with Docker ===
+
+This is the simplest way, but you need to have Docker installed
+on your system.
+
+You can use a Docker image to cross build QGIS by calling
+the script ms-windows/mxe/build.sh from the root directory of QGIS repository.
+
+=== Building without Docker ====
+
+This requires to install mxe toolchain on your system and build
+all dependencies by yourself.
+
+==== Initial setup ====
 
 Please follow the instructions on mxe website to setup your building toolchain http://mxe.cc/,
 take note of the path where you have installed mxe.
 
-=== Building the dependencies ===
+==== Building the dependencies ====
 
-Please see the README under ms-windows/mxe for a list of the dependencies that need to be
-built in mxe before attempting to build QGIS.

-=== Cross-Building QGIS ===
+==== Cross-Building QGIS ====
 
-Edit the build-mxe.sh script and change the path where your mxe installation is located, you
-can also change the build and release directory.
+Edit the build-mxe.sh script and optionally adjust the path where your mxe installation is located, you

 === Testing QGIS ===
 
-Copy and unzip the release package on a Windows machine and launch it!
+Copy and unzip on the Windows machine package produced by the build and launch the qgis binary: no installation
