+You can use the following flags with `compile.py` (full list of available flags
+can be found by launching the script with `--help`):
+
+* `-o` -> Path to build directory
+* `-t`, `--build-target` -> Build target (e.g., `clang` or `llvm-spirv`). Default is `deploy-sycl-toolchain`
+* `-j`, `--build-parallelism` -> Number of threads to use for compilation

 **Please note** that no data about flags is being shared between `configure.py` and
 `compile.py` scripts, which means that if you configured your build to be
 placed in non-default directory using `-o` flag, you must also specify this flag
