+How to build Box Backup on Win32 using Cygwin and MinGW
+By Chris Wilson, 2005-12-07
+
+Install Cygwin on your Windows box [http://www.cygwin.org]
+Make sure to include the following packages:
+* Devel/gcc-mingw
+* Devel/gcc-mingw-core
+* Devel/gcc-mingw-g++
+* Mingw/mingw-zlib
+
+Download OpenSSL from
+[http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.7i.tar.gz]
+
+Open a Cygwin shell, and unpack OpenSSL:
+
+ tar xzvf openssl-0.9.7i.tar.gz
+
+Configure OpenSSL for MinGW compilation, and build and install it:
+
+ cd openssl-0.9.7i
+ ./Configure --prefix=/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/ mingw
+ make
+ make install
+
+Download PCRE from
+[http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pcre/pcre-6.3.tar.bz2?download]
+
+Open a Cygwin shell, and unpack PCRE:
+
+ tar xjvf pcre-6.3.tar.bz2
+
+Configure PCRE for MinGW compilation, and build and install it:
+
+ cd pcre-6.3
+ export CFLAGS="-mno-cygwin"
+ ./configure
+ make winshared
+ cp .libs/pcreposix.dll /bin
+ cp .libs/pcreposix.dll.a /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/lib
+ cp pcreposix.h /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/include/regex.h
+
+Now unpack the Box Backup sources, enter the source directory,
+and configure like this:
+
+ export CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin"
+ export LD="g++ -mno-cygwin"
+ export CFLAGS="-mno-cygwin -mthreads"
+ export CXXFLAGS="-mno-cygwin -mthreads"
+ export LDFLAGS="-mno-cygwin -mthreads"
+ export LIBS="-lcrypto -lws2_32 -lgdi32"
+ (if you don't have a "configure" file, run "./bootstrap")
+ ./configure --target=i686-pc-mingw32
+ make
+
