Ensure that the command-line compiler and tools (including

You can get MinGW from http://www.mingw.org/

-The makefile might have small problems with Cygwin's tools
-so it is recommended to use MinGW and its toolchain instead
-if possible.
+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 wxWidgets without configure using native makefile, but only with
+MinGW. Using Cygwin together with Windows makefile is no longer supported.
+
+If building with MinGW without configure:
-> Set your path so that it includes the directory
where your compiler and tools reside
--> If your are using an old MinGW version (gcc-2.95 or older),
- you might need to fix some headers with the patches contained
- in the wxWin\Mingw32-gcc295.patches file. PLEASE APPLY THESE
- PATCHES BY HAND! There are apparently a few different versions
- of the headers floating around. Note that these patches are
- not needed if you are using MinGW gcc-2.95.2 or newer.
-
--> Edit wx/src/makeg95.env and set the MINGW32 variable at the top of
- the file to either 1 (you have MinGW) or 0 (you have Cygwin).
- Also set the MINGW32VERSION variable appropiately.
+-> Make sure you have GNU Make installed. It must be Windows native version.
+ Download it from http://www.mingw.org, the executable will be called
+ mingw32-make.exe.
+
+-> 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).
+
+If using configure, Unix instructions apply.

--------------------------------------------------
You might want to build both Unix and Windows binaries in the same source
tree; to do this make subdirs for each e.g. unix and win32. If you've

library; cross-compiling errors can be pretty obscure and you'll want to be
sure that your configure setup is basically sound.)
