+Compilers Supported
+-------------------
+MinGW GCC (v3.4.5)
+Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 SP6
+
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+Libraries you need to obtain separately to build:
+
+ default path download
+wxWidgets \wxWidgets http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/
+OpenSSL \OpenSSL http://www.openssl.org/source/
+Berkeley DB \DB http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/berkeley-db/index.html
+Boost \Boost http://www.boost.org/users/download/
+
+Their licenses:
+wxWidgets LGPL 2.1 with very liberal exceptions
+OpenSSL Old BSD license with the problematic advertising requirement
+Berkeley DB New BSD license with additional requirement that linked software must be free open source
+Boost MIT-like license
+
+
+OpenSSL
+-------
+Bitcoin does not use any encryption. If you want to do a no-everything
+build of OpenSSL to exclude encryption routines, a few patches are required.
+(OpenSSL v0.9.8h)
+
+Edit engines\e_gmp.c and put this #ifndef around #include <openssl/rsa.h>
+ #ifndef OPENSSL_NO_RSA
+ #include <openssl/rsa.h>
+ #endif
+
+Add this to crypto\err\err_all.c before the ERR_load_crypto_strings line:
+ void ERR_load_RSA_strings(void) { }
+
+Edit ms\mingw32.bat and replace the Configure line's parameters with this
+no-everything list. You have to put this in the batch file because batch
+files can't handle more than 9 parameters.
+ perl Configure mingw threads no-rc2 no-rc4 no-rc5 no-idea no-des no-bf no-cast no-aes no-camellia no-seed no-rsa no-dh
+
+Also REM out the following line in ms\mingw32.bat. The build fails after it's
+already finished building libeay32, which is all we care about, but the
+failure aborts the script before it runs dllwrap to generate libeay32.dll.
+ REM if errorlevel 1 goto end
+
+Build
+ ms\mingw32.bat
+
+If you want to use it with MSVC, generate the .lib file
+ lib /machine:i386 /def:ms\libeay32.def /out:out\libeay32.lib
+
+
+Berkeley DB
+-----------
+MinGW with MSYS:
+cd \DB\build_unix
+sh ../dist/configure --enable-mingw --enable-cxx
+make
+
+
+Boost
+-----
+You may need Boost version 1.35 to build with MSVC 6.0. I couldn't get
+version 1.37 to compile with MSVC 6.0.
