 This library is geared towards being compiled with MINGW, using MSYS and GNU
 Make.
 
-Feel free to try it with other environments, but YMMV.
+It builds OK, but has only been basically tested under Cygwin.  There is
+certainly no reason why it shouldn't work properly under Cygwin though.
 
+To build:
 
+1. 'cd src'.
 
+2. Edit GNUmakefile and edit the following variables as required:
+
+	INSTALLDIR	This is the directory in which the headers and
+			library will be installed as $INSTALLDIR/include
+			and $INSTALLDIR/lib.  The default is /usr/local, but
+			if you're going to use it ouside MSYS/Cygwin set a
+			DOS path, but use *forward* slashes.
+
+	CREATECONF	If set to 1 then this creates a w32dlib-config
+			shell script.  This is always installed into
+			/usr/local/bin (as you have a proper shell, I
+			assume your using either MSYS or Cygwin).  If not
+			edit install.sh accordingly.
+
+	DEBUG		Uncomment this line if you want a debug (-g) build
+			that also sends some rudementary output to the
+			Windows API OutputDebugString().
+
+3. Type 'make'.
+
+4. If OK, 'cd test' and 'make' again.  Run w32dtest.exe and make sure it
+   looks like it's not going to fall over in a heap.
+
+5. If all OK, 'cd ..' and 'make install'.
+
+6. For documentation, 'cd src' and then 'make doc'.  The documentation
+   will be in ./doc/html -- use index.html to start.  Copy these whereever
+   you want.
+
+7. Alternatively look at ./src/test/w32dtest.cpp for example code on using
+   w32dlib.
