+### Building without VST3 support
+
+As mentioned above, building the VST3 SDK requires CMake. We might be able to
+easily replace the default build definitions for the SDK with a simple
+`meson.build` file in the future, but for now if you wish to build yabridge
+without VST3 support then you can disable it as follows:
+
+```shell
+# Disable VST3 support, removing the dependency on CMake
+meson configure build -Dwith-vst3=false
+```
+
 ### 32-bit bitbridge
 
 It is also possible to compile a host application for yabridge that's compatible
