+MinGW GCC http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/
+ TDM-GCC with gcc 4.5.1 was used to build this release.
+MSYS 1.0.11 was also used (sh needed to compile some dependencies)
-MSVC 8.0 (2005) SP1 has been tested. Note: MSVC 7.0 and up have a habit of

+Candidate releases were built with MSVC 10.0 (2010), but
+compiling with Visual C++ caused rendering artifacts when
+bitcoin was run.

OpenSSL
-------
-If you want to exclude unused optional algorithms, a few patches are required.
-(instructions for OpenSSL v0.9.8k)
-
-Edit engines\e_gmp.c and engines\e_capi.c and add this #ifndef around
-the openssl/rsa.h include:
- #ifndef OPENSSL_NO_RSA
- #include <openssl/rsa.h>
- #endif
-
-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 take more than nine command line 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
+MSYS shell:
+un-tar sources with MSYS 'tar xfz' to avoid issue with symlinks (OpenSSL ticket 2377)
+change 'MAKE' env. variable from 'C:\MinGW32\bin\mingw32-make.exe' to '/c/MinGW32/bin/mingw32-make.exe'
-Also REM out the following line in ms\mingw32.bat after the mingw32-make
-line. 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
