 How to build Gaim using MinGw
 =============================
 
-Set Up Build Environment
-------------------------
-
-- Install Cygwin bash shell (www.cygwin.com).
-
-- Install MinGw v1.1 (http://www.mingw.org)
-  Make sure to read the installation instructions. Make sure to set MinGw's
-  bin directory in your PATH (in .bash_login), before Cygwin's bin dir 
-  (so that mingw's build tools are used over cygwin's).
-
-Install LIBs, DLLs and headers used by GAIM
--------------------------------------------
-
-  Assuming you have the gaim sources in ~/gaim, you will need to do the
-  fowllowing:
-
-  GTK & GLIB (v 2.0.9 as of writing)
-  ----------------------------------
-
-  $ mkdir -p ~/win32-dev/gtk_2_0/zips
-
-  Download the following from thw win32 download page at www.gtk.org to the
-  zips dir you just created:
-
-  atk-1.0.3-20020821.zip            
-  atk-dev-1.0.3-20020821.zip        
-  gettext-dev-0.10.40-20020904.zip 
-  glib-2.0.6-20020802.zip
-  glib-dev-2.0.6-20020802.zip
-  gtk+-2.0.6-20020921.zip
-  gtk+-dev-2.0.6-20020921.zip
-  libiconv-1.7-w32.bin.zip
-  libintl-0.10.40-tml-20020904.zip
-  libjpeg-6b-bin.zip
-  libpng-1.2.4-1-bin.zip
-  pango-1.0.4-20020921.zip
-  pango-dev-1.0.4-20020921.zip
-  tiff-3.5.7-bin.zip
-  zlib-1.1.4-bin.zip
-
-  Make sure that after unziping, the binaries (dlls and exes) have the correct
-  executable permissions (e.g. "chmod 755 iconv.dll"):
-
-  $ cd ~/win32-dev/gtk_2_0/zips
-  $ unzip -d .. "*.zip"
-  $ cd ..
-  $ cp lib/libintl-1.dll ./bin
-  $ cd libiconv-1.7-w32.bin
-  $ cp iconv.exe ../bin
-  $ cp iconv.lib ../lib
-  $ cp localcharset.dll ../lib
-  $ cp iconv.dll ../lib
-  $ cp iconv.dll ../bin
-  $ cp iconv.h ../include/
-  $ cp libcharset.h ../include/
-
-  NOTE: If you use a more recent versions of any of these packages, you may
-  need to move files around so that they can be found when Gaim is built.
+Since these instructions are constantly changing and in order for me to
+avoid maintaining two versions of these instructions please refer to:
 
-  Perl56
-  ------
-
-  Download perl-5.6.1 from www.cpan.org.  You can build perl56 yourself if
-  you have MS Visual C++, or you can download a win32 binary distribution
-  (I tried SiePerl successfully).  In either case make sure you do the
-  following:
-
-  $ mkdir -p ~/win32-dev/perl56
-  
-  Copy Perl's "CORE" directory to ~/win32-dev/perl56 as well as "perl56.dll"
-  and "perl56.lib".
-
-  Aspell-15
-  ---------
-
-  Download the dev package (aspell-15.tar.gz) from http://gaim.sf.net/win32,
-  and untar it under ~/win32-dev.
-
-  Gtkspell 2.0.3
-  --------------
-
-  Download the dev package (gtkspell-2.0.3-20021223.tar.gz) from 
-  http://gaim.sf.net/win32, and untar it under ~/win32-dev. 
-
-Build Gaim
-----------
-
-  $ cd ~/gaim
-  $ make -f Makefile.mingw install
+http://www.sourceforge.net/win32
 
-Run Gaim
---------
-
-  $ cd ~/gaim/win32-install-dir
-  $ ./gaim.exe
-
-  That's it..
-
-  Note: If you wish to build an install exe of Gaim, then you need to install
-  NSIS from http://www.nullsoft.com/free/nsis/ making sure to place its
-  binary dir in your PATH. Then...
-
-  $ cd ~/gaim
-  $ make -f Makefile.mingw installer
-
-Debugging
----------
-
-  There is quite a good "Just In Time" debugger for MinGw:
-  http://mefriss1.swan.ac.uk/~jfonseca/gnu-win32/software/drmingw/
-
-
-Happy Gaiming...
