+Building TLS Support
+======================================
+
+TLS requires GnuTLS, which is supplied with most Linux distributions and
+with MinGW for Windows and can be built from source on OS X and other
+Unix variants. However, GnuTLS versions > 2.12.x && < 3.3.x should be
+avoided because of potential incompatibilities during initial handshaking.
+
+You can override the GNUTLS_LIBRARY and GNUTLS_INCLUDE_DIR CMake variables
+to specify the locations of libgnutls and any dependencies. For instance,
+adding
+
+ -DGNUTLS_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include \
+ -DGNUTLS_LIBRARY="/usr/local/lib/libgnutls.a; \
+ /usr/local/lib/libgcrypt.a; \
+ /usr/local/lib/libgpg-error.a"
+
+to the CMake command line would link TigerVNC against a static version of
+libgnutls located under /usr/local.
