+Although our development environment is primarily geared to Linux, it
+is possible to develop and test on Windows, using Cygwin.  To do so,
+do the following, adapting it to your local environment.
+
+To develop on windows, you will install:
+
+- a specific version of binutils (targetting i386-elf)
+- a specific version of gcc (targetting i386-elf)
+- a specific version of nasm, patched for VT and SVM instructions
+- the as86, bcc, and ld86 tools from Dev86 (these are needed to build
+the bioses and other vm boot package components)
+
+
+To start, install cygwin (see cygwin.org).  We have done a complete
+installation ("all" -> "install") in our environment, and would
+recommend it. 
+
+Run a bash shell.
+
+Check out vmm-dev from CVS, or unpack a copy from a tarball.  
+In the following, we assume /home/pdinda/Codes/vmm-dev
+is the checked-out directory
+
+export DEVROOT=/home/pdinda/Codes/vmm-dev
+mkdir $DEVROOT/devtools
+export LOCATION=$DEVROOT/devtools
+
+Now build and install binutils into $LOCATION:
+
+cd $DEVROOT/utils
+tar xfz binutils-2.16.91.0.7.tar.gz
+cd binutils-2.16.91.0.7
+./configure --prefix=$LOCATION/i386 --target=i386-elf --disable-nls
+make -j 4 all
+make install
+
+Now build and install gcc:
+
+cd $DEVROOT/utils
+tar xfz gcc-3.4.6.tar.gz
+export PATH=$LOCATION/i386/bin:$PATH
+cd gcc-3.4.6
+./configure --prefix=$LOCATION/i386 --target=i386-elf --disable-nls --enable-languages=c,c++ --without-headers
+make -j 4 all-gcc
+make install-gcc
+
+Now build and install the patched nasm:
+
+cd $DEVROOT/utils
+tar xfz nasm-0.98.39.tar.gz
+cd nasm-0.98.39
+patch < ../vmx.patch 
+patch < ../nasm-install.patch
+./configure --prefix=$LOCATION
+make
+make install
+
+install bcc and other components of dev86:
+
+cd $DEVROOT/utils
+tar xvf Dev86src-0.16.17.tar.gz
+cd dev86-0.16.17
+make as86 ld86 bcc86
+make -C cpp
+cp as/as86.exe bcc/bcc.exe bcc/bcc-cc1.exe cpp/bcc-cpp.exe ld/ld86.exe $LOCATION/bin
+
+Now test:
+
+cd $DEVROOT/vmm-hack1/build
+export PATH=$PATH:$LOCATION/bin
+
+make world
+
+This should succeed, leaving you with a vmm.img file.
