-Windows 32 Notes
-================
-
-The "freeglut" library installation package comes with MSVC 6.0 workspace and
-project files.  The workspace "freeglut.dsw" has two projects:
-"freeglut.dsp", which creates a DLL file, and "freeglut_static.dsp", which
-creates a static library.
-
-The "freeglut" library also comes with an Open Watcom compiler project file
-"freeglut.wpj" and two target files "freeglut.tgt" and "freeglut_static.tgt".
-The two target files build DLL and static libraries.  The Open Watcom also
-includes "freeglut.rc", which is a resource compiler script to add a "Version"
-tab to the DLL property sheet.
-
-
-Building the Libraries with MSVC
-================================
-
-To build the "freeglut" libraries, open MSVC and load the "freeglut" workspace.
-This will load the two projects.  Selecting "Build" - "Batch Build" from the
-menu will build both the debug and the release versions of both libraries.
-
-The libraries will be found in the following places and will have the
-following names:
-- DLL, debug version: freeglut\freeglut\Debug\freeglut.lib
-- DLL, release version: freeglut\freeglut\Release\freeglut.lib
-- Static, debug version: freeglut\freeglut\DebugStatic\freeglut_static.lib
-- Static, release version: freeglut\freeglut\ReleaseStatic\freeglut_static.lib
-
-Unlike the *nix release, the library names are NOT automatic replacements for
-the GLUT library names.  You may rename them manually if you wish, but this is
-not necessary as the header file includes a pragma telling the compiler which
-library file to look for.

+Building and Installing the Libraries with Cygwin
+=================================================
+
+To build "freeglut" under Cygwin, you have two choices:
+
+- You can build a normal Cygwin library, which depends on Cygwin's X11
+  libraries. To do this, you can just use the normal autotools incantation:
+      ./configure && make install
+
+- Alternatively, you can build a DLL which does not depend on X11 and links
+  against the opengl32 DLL. To do this, configure need a few more flags:
+      ./configure CPPFLAGS=-mno-cygwin LDFLAGS=-mno-cygwin --without-x && make install
+
+
+If you don't have MSVC, Open Watcom or Cygwin
