# Build Win32 release:
./bin/gbuild --commit bitcoin=HEAD ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-win32.yml
+
+---------------------
+
+gitian-builder now also supports building using LXC. See
+ https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/lxc.html
+... for how to get LXC up and running under Ubuntu.
+
+If your main machine is a 64-bit Mac or PC with a few gigabytes of memory
+and at least 10 gigabytes of free disk space, you can gitian-build using
+LXC running inside a virtual machine.
+
+Here's a description of Gavin's setup on OSX 10.6:
+
+1. Download and install VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/
+
+2. Download the 64-bit Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS .iso CD image from
+ http://www.ubuntu.com/
+
+3. Run VirtualBox and create a new virtual machine, using the
+ Ubuntu .iso (see the VirtualBox documentation for details).
+ Create it with at least 2 gigabytes of memory and a disk
+ that is at least 20 gigabytes big.
+
+4. Inside the running Ubuntu desktop, install:
+ sudo apt-get install debootstrap lxc ruby apache2 git apt-cacher-ng python-vm-builder
+
+5. Still inside Ubuntu, tell gitian-builder to use LXC, then follow the "Once you've got the right
+ hardware and software" instructions above:
+ export USE_LXC=1
+ git clone git://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
+ ... etc
