+COMPILING ON WIN32
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+It is not easy! Be warned! You need either one of these compilers:
+
+	* Mingw (http://www.mingw.org)
+	* MS Visual C
+
+Note: This source code is meant for Linux/Unix like systems. Compiling this for
+Windows will produce a below-par quality product. The official XChat for Windows
+is not built with this unix source code.
+
+
+Getting GTK
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You also need GTK+ 2.10 for win32. Altough the GTK packages from the GIMP
+website are larger and harder to install they work very well.
+
+	1) Get the following packages from: 
+	  http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html
+
+	  - gtk+-2.4.3.tar.gz
+	  - gtk+-dev-2.4.3.tar.gz
+	  - dirent.zip
+	  - gettext-runtime-0.13.1.zip
+	  - gettext-tools-0.13.1.zip
+	  - atk-1.6.0.zip
+	  - atk-dev-1.6.0.zip
+	  - pango-1.4.0.zip
+	  - pango-dev-1.4.0.zip
+	  - libpng (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libpng.htm) Binaries & Developer files.
+	  - GNU libiconv (Not source files)
+	  - glib-2.4.2.zip
+	  - glib-dev-2.4.2.zip
+	  - pkgconfig-0.15.zip
+	  - Zlib121-dll.zip
+
+	2) Extract all files to a suitable place such as c:\devtools
+
+	3) Windows 2000, XP & 2003 users:
+	  - Start->(Settings->)Control Panel->System Applet
+	  - Advanced Tab->Environment Variables
+	  - Under "User variables for <user>" append ";C:\devtools" to the end of the PATH Variable
+	  - Click Ok twice and close the Control Panel
+	
+	  For Windows 9x users your basicly on your own for now.
+
+
+Mingw
+~~~~~
+
+	I havn't tried this yet, but ./configure --disable-xlib would be a start.
+
+
+MS Visual C
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+	
+	1) Edit src\makeinc.msc
+
+	  You need to change the variables GLIB, GTK and LIBS to point
+	  the correct paths for your harddrive. Use the program pkg-config
+	  to find this information.
+
+	  a) paste the output of `pkg-config glib-2.0 --msvc-syntax --cflags`
+	     to the GLIB = ... line.
+
+	  b) paste the output of `pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --msvc-syntax --cflags`
+	     to the GTK = ... line.
+
+	  c) paste the output of `pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --msvc-syntax --libs`
+	     to the LIBS = ... line.
+
+	2) In MSVC's includes directory, copy io.h to unistd.h.
+
+	MS VC++ 6
+	~~~~~~~~~
+
+		3) Download Platform SDK from http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/
+		  (you only need Core SDK) - ~200 MB Download (Be warned).
+		4) Open the build enviroment.
+		 
+		  a) If your planning on developing modifications to the xchat code go:
+		     Start->Programs->Microsoft Platform SDK...->Open Build Enviroment...->(Choose OS)->... (Debug)
+
+		  b) If your compiling just to use xchat and wish to no recieve debug messages:
+		     Start->Programs->Microsoft Platform SDK...->Open Build Enviroment...->(Choose OS)->... (Retail)
+		5) Change directory into where you have download the xchat source to and type this:
+		  cd src
+		  nmake -f makefile.msc clean
+		  nmake -f makefile.msc
+		6) Copy fe-gtk\xchat.exe to another place.
+	MS VC++ 7 (.NET)
+	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+		3) Open the Visual Studio .NET Command Prompt
+		 
+		4) Change directory into where you have download the xchat source to and type this:
+		  cd src
+		  nmake -f makefile.msc clean
+		  nmake -f makefile.msc
+		5) Copy fe-gtk\xchat.exe to another place.

+
+Common problems:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ * gdk-pixbuf-csource must be in PATH.
+   FIX: See step 3 for setting up GTK
+
+ * You might need to install dirent.zip manually.
+   FIX: Copy C:\devtools\include\dirent.h to C:\devtools\include\glib-2.0\dirent.h
+
+ * Include path to libintl.h should be in GLIB= (makeinc.msc).
+   FIX: Copy C:\devtools\include\libintl.h to C:\devtools\include\glib-2.0\libintl.h
