1.1     ! misho       1: Installation on Woe32 (WinNT/2000/XP/Vista, Win95/98/ME):
        !             2: 
        !             3: Building requires the mingw or cygwin development environment (includes gcc).
        !             4: MS Visual C/C++ with "nmake" is no longer supported.
        !             5: 
        !             6: This file explains how to create binaries for the mingw execution environment.
        !             7: For how to create binaries for the cygwin environment, please see the normal
        !             8: INSTALL file.  MS Visual C/C++ with "nmake" is no longer supported.
        !             9: 
        !            10: I recommend to use the cygwin environment as the development environment
        !            11: and mingw only as the target (runtime, deployment) environment.
        !            12: For this, you need to install
        !            13:   - cygwin,
        !            14:   - the mingw runtime package, also from the cygwin site.
        !            15: 
        !            16: You must not install cygwin programs directly under /usr/local -
        !            17: because the mingw compiler and linker would pick up the include files
        !            18: and libraries from there, thus introducing an undesired dependency to
        !            19: cygwin. You can for example achieve this by using the
        !            20: configure option --prefix=/usr/local/cygwin each time you build a
        !            21: program for cygwin.
        !            22: 
        !            23: Building for mingw is then achieved through the following preparation
        !            24: and configure commands:
        !            25: 
        !            26:    PATH=/usr/local/mingw/bin:$PATH
        !            27:    export PATH
        !            28:    ./configure --host=i586-pc-mingw32 --prefix=/usr/local/mingw \
        !            29:      CPPFLAGS="-mno-cygwin -Wall -I/usr/local/mingw/include" \
        !            30:      CFLAGS="-mno-cygwin -O2 -g" \
        !            31:      CXXFLAGS="-mno-cygwin -O2 -g" \
        !            32:      LDFLAGS="-mno-cygwin -L/usr/local/mingw/lib"
        !            33: 
        !            34: The -mno-cygwin tells the cygwin compiler and linker to build for mingw.
        !            35: The -I and -L option are so that packages previously built for the
        !            36: same environment are found. The --host option tells the various
        !            37: tools that you are building for mingw, not cygwin.
