+Cross-Building for Windows with MXE
+===================================
+
+Check http://mxe.cc/#requirements and install all missing requirements.
+
+As root (or other user with write access to /usr/local/src):
+
+ cd /usr/local/src
+ git clone https://github.com/mxe/mxe.git
+ cd mxe
+
+ make -j$(nproc) MXE_PLUGIN_DIRS="plugins/tcl.tk" \
+ MXE_TARGETS="i686-w64-mingw32.static" \
+ gcc tcl readline
+
+Then as regular user in some directory where you build stuff:
+
+ git clone https://github.com/cliffordwolf/yosys.git yosys-win32
+ cd yosys-win32
+ make config-mxe
+ make -j$(nproc) mxebin

+How to add unit test
+====================
+
+Unit test brings some advantages, briefly, we can list some of them (reference
+[1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_testing)):
+
+* Tests reduce bugs in new features;
+* Tests reduce bugs in existing features;
+* Tests are good documentation;
+* Tests reduce the cost of change;
+* Tests allow refactoring;
+
+With those advantages in mind, it was required to choose a framework which fits
+well with C/C++ code. Hence, it was chosen (google test)
+[https://github.com/google/googletest], because it is largely used and it is
+relatively easy learn.
+
+Install and configure google test (manually)
+--------------------------------------------
+
+In this section, you will see a brief description of how to install google
+test. However, it is strongly recommended that you take a look to the official
+repository (https://github.com/google/googletest) and refers to that if you
+have any problem to install it. Follow the steps below:
+
+* Install: cmake and pthread
+* Clone google test project from: https://github.com/google/googletest and
+ enter in the project directory
+* Inside project directory, type:
+
+```
+cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON .
+make
+```
+
+* After compilation, copy all "*.so" inside directory "googlemock" and
+ "googlemock/gtest" to "/usr/lib/"
+* Done! Now you can compile your tests.
+
+If you have any problem, go to the official repository to find help.
+
+Ps.: Some distros already have googletest packed. If your distro supports it,
+you can use it instead of compile.
+
+Create new unit test
+--------------------
+
+If you want to add new unit tests for Yosys, just follow the steps below:
+
+* Go to directory "yosys/test/unit/"
+* In this directory you can find something similar Yosys's directory structure.
+ To create your unit test file you have to follow this pattern:
+ fileNameToImplementUnitTest + Test.cc. E.g.: if you want to implement the
+ unit test for kernel/celledges.cc, you will need to create a file like this:
+ tests/unit/kernel/celledgesTest.cc;
+* Implement your unit test
+
+Run unit test
+-------------
+
+To compile and run all unit tests, just go to yosys root directory and type:
+```
+make unit-test
+```
+
+If you want to remove all unit test files, type:
+```
+make clean-unit-test
+```
