+- If using Mingw32 2.95 and below with wxWindows 2.1 or above, you
+  must hand-patch with Mingw32-gcc295.patches (located in the
+  top-level of the wxWindows 2 installation). Mingw32 2.95.2

+- Modify the file wx/src/cygnus.bat (or mingw32.bat or mingegcs.bat)

+
+- For Cygwin, make sure there's a \tmp directory on your
+  Windows drive or bison will crash (actually you don't need
+  bison for ordinary wxWindows compilation: a pre-generated .c file is
+  supplied).
+
+- Edit wx/src/makeg95.env and set the MINGW32 variable at the top of
+  the file to either 1 (you have Mingw32 or Cygwin 1.x releases) or 0
+  (if you have Cygwin betas). If using Mingw32, also set the
+  MINGW32VERSION variable appropriately.
