+If you are using Cygwin or MinGW together with the MSYS environment, you
+can build the library using configure (see "Unix ports" and
+"Windows using configure" below). You can also
+build wxWindows without configure using native makefile, but only with
+MinGW. Using Cygwin together with Windows makefile is no longer supported.

 
 

-The makefile has small problems with Cygwin´s tools
-so it is recommended not to use these (but MingGW32
-and its make.exe).
+If building with MinGW without configure:

 
 -> Set your path so that it includes the directory

+   Download it from http://www.mingw.org, the executable will be called
+   mingw32-make.exe.

 
 

-Using the newer gcc-2.95/Noralander header combination
-will allow you to compile more of the MSW code, such
-as OLE and Drag-n-Drop.
+-> Modern version of MinGW is required; preferably MinGW 2.0 (with gcc3),
+   but MinGW with gcc-2.95.3 will suffice. If you are using 2.95, you will
+   have to change variable GCC_VERSION in config.gcc (see msw/install.txt
+   for details).

 
 

-Instructions are similar to those for Regular Mingw32 except
+If using configure, Unix instructions apply.

 
 

-->Get the compiler from
