+h1. Compiling in Windows
+
+h2. Prerequisites
+
+h3. MinGW / MSYS
+
+You first need to install a compiler and a shell environment to run the build scripts. On windows, we use MinGW and MSYS. Those two work together, so you have to install MinGW first.
+It can be found "here":http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/ . Run the automated installer, and do not check any of the optional components, all you need from MinGW is its C compiler, which is always installed.
+*Important*: install MinGW in a path containing no spaces. The default path is good: c:\mingw
+
+Next, you need to install MSYS. The recent versions don't have an installer, so it is easier to install "version 1.0.11":http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.11.exe .
+*Important*: again, the installation path should contain no spaces. The default is c:\msys
+After it is done installing, a terminal will pop up, asking you to run the post-install script. Answer yes, and when it asks for the MinGW install path, input it as c:/mingw .
+
+h3. msysGit
+
+You will need msysGit to download the Xonotic source files from the repositories and keep them up to date. You can get msysGit "here":http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ . Download the "Full installer for official Git" file.
+The default install options should be good.
+
+
+h2. Downloading the Xonotic sources
+
+Open git bash, and type those two commands:
+<pre>
+cd /c/msys/1.0
+git clone git://git.xonotic.org/xonotic/xonotic.git
+</pre>
+
+(Tip: you can paste text in the console with the Shift-Insert keyboard shortcut)
+
+This will install the Xonotic root repository in c:\msys\1.0\xonotic
+
+When the download is done, type
+<pre>
+cd xonotic
+./all update
+</pre>
+
+This will download approximately 2 gigabytes of data, and use 4 gigabytes in disk space.
+This will take a while, but you can already get started on the next step.
+
+
+h2. Setting up the environment
+
+To run the "all" script and compile Xonotic, you need to set up MSYS to be able to use msysGit from it.
+The /etc/profile file in the msys directory has to be modified to include msysGit in its search path. To do this, use a text editor that supports Unix line endings (LF), for example "Notepad++":http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ .
+If your text editor shows a two-line file, it probably does not support Unix line endings.
+
+Look for those lines (lines 19 to 20 in MSYS 1.0.11)
+<pre>
+if [ $MSYSTEM == MINGW32 ]; then
+  export PATH=".:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin:$PATH"
+</pre>
+
+And change them to:
+<pre>
+PATH="/c/Program Files/Git/bin:$PATH"
+if [ $MSYSTEM == MINGW32 ]; then
+  export PATH=".:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin:$PATH"
+</pre>
+
+Alternatively, you can get the modified profile file in the attachments of this page.
+
+h2. Compiling and running the game
+
+When the cloning of all the repositories is done, open MSYS and type:
+<pre>
+cd /xonotic
+./all compile
+</pre>
+
+This will compile the engine, QC compiler, and game progs. When this is done, you can then run the game with:
+<pre>
+./all run
+</pre>
+
+h2. Updating
+
+To update, all you need to do is open MSYS and:
+<pre>
+cd /xonotic
+./all update
+./all compile
+</pre>
+
+The most recent Xonotic development version is then ready to run.
