 The script assumes you have built all of the sigrok subprojects and
 installed them into $HOME/sr (e.g. via the sigrok-cross-linux script).
 
-The AppImages are tested to build fine on Ubuntu 14.04 (32bit and 64bit).
+It also assumes you have built AppImageKit in $HOME. First, install all
+build requirements of AppImageKit (see AppImageKit docs or its
+install-build-deps.sh file). Then:
+
+ $ cd $HOME
+ $ git clone https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit
+ $ cd AppImageKit
+
+Apply chdir.patch (required to fix sigrok bug #1300), then build:
+
+ $ patch -p1 < chdir.patch
+ $ ./build.sh
+
+Temporary workaround for an AppImageKit issue:
+
+ $ mkdir -p build/lib/appimagekit
+ $ cp build/out/mksquashfs build/lib/appimagekit

+The AppImages are tested to build fine on Ubuntu 16.04 (32bit and 64bit).
 These older distros are used for the build so that the generated AppImages
 can run on as many different systems as possible.
