README: Move cmake installation directions to INSTALL
The installation guidelines in INSTALL were generic autotools directions, so is now entirely obsolete.

[![build status](https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/badges/master/build.svg)](https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/commits/master)
-Basic Installation
-==================
-Inkscape version 0.92 and newer can be build using cmake:
-
-```bash
-mkdir build
-cd build
-cmake ..
-make
-make install
-```
-
-Other platforms such as Windows and Mac require a lot more and are considered
-a developer and packager task. These instructions are kept on the Inkscape wiki.
-
-Running Without Installing
-==========================
-
-For developers and others who want to run inkscape without installing it:
-
-```bash
-ln -s . share/inkscape
-mkdir -p build/conf
-cd build
-cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=$PWD/../ ..
-make -j4
-export INKSCAPE_PROFILE_DIR=$PWD/conf
-PATH=$PWD/bin/:$PATH
-./bin/inkscape
-```
-
-This won't work for other platforms such as Windows and Mac, see above. But
-what it is doing is linking the share directory into a location where
-the inkscape binary will be able to find it. Allowing you to change the
-inkscape shared files without rebuilding or installing.
-
-Then setting a local configuration directory, keeping your configurations
-separate from any installed version.
-
-Required Dependencies
-=====================
-
-The Inkscape core depends on several other libraries that you will need
-install, if they are not already present on your system. The most
-typical libraries you may need to install are:
-
- * [Boehm-GC](http://www.hboehm.info/gc/)
- * [libsigc++](http://libsigc.sourceforge.net/)
- * [gtkmm](https://www.gtkmm.org/)
-
-Please see [the wiki page on compiling Inkscape](http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingInkscape) for the
-most current dependencies, including links to the source tarballs.
-
-
-Extension Dependencies
-======================
-Inkscape also has a number of extensions for implementing various
-features such as support for non-SVG file formats. In theory, all
-extensions are optional, however in practice you will want to have these
-installed and working. Unfortunately, there is a great deal of
-variability in how you can get these functioning properly. Here are
-some recommendations:
-
-First, make sure you have Python. If you are on Windows you
-should also install [Cygwin](https://www.cygwin.com/).
-
-Second, if an extension does not work, check the file
-`extensions-errors.log` located on Linux at `~/.config/inkscape` and on
-Windows at `%userprofile%\Application Data\Inkscape\`. Any missing
-programs will be listed.
