 Compilers Supported
 -------------------
-TODO: What works?
-Note: releases are cross-compiled using mingw running on Linux.
+Compilation under Windows is supported using MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/)
 
 
 Dependencies
 ------------
-Libraries you need to download separately and build:
+To build Dogecoin for Windows, there are number of libraries you need to download
+separately and build. Note that, for those used to a Linux/UNIX background, the search
+paths for include files is not the conventional UNIX directories, see
+http://www.mingw.org/wiki/IncludePathHOWTO for more details. Library files can be placed
+in the more conventional /usr/local/lib directory, but see
+http://www.mingw.org/wiki/HOWTO_Specify_the_Location_of_Libraries_for_use_with_MinGW in
+case of difficulties.
+
+In both cases, include and library files will need to be placed in the relevant directories
+for the build process to succeed.
