+How to compile FlightGear with mingw
+====================================
+
+
+MinGW & MSYS
+============
+
+You need to install mingw & msys: 
+
+http://www.mingw.org
+
+You need at least:
+
+MinGW: binutils, gcc-core, gcc-g++, mingw-runtime, mingw-utils, w32api
+I would recommed the gcc-3.4.4 versions.
+MSYS: msys-1.0.10.exe, msys-autoconf, msys-automake, msys-libtool, msys-DTK.
+
+Please read instructions carefully.
+
+Set the follwing environment variables within msys shell.
+
+export CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -O2"
+export CXXFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -O2"
+export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include
+export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
+
+Pthread-win32

+compile:
+make  GCE-inlined
+
+Install:
+cp pthread.h sched.h semaphore.h /usr/local/include
+cp linpthreadGCE2.a  /usr/local/lib/libpthread.a
+cp pthread-GCE.dll /usr/local/bin
