-    You may need --disable-assembler if building universal binaries on

-    enabled, and there's no way to make it work with universal build.
-    If you want to keep the assembler code, consider building one

-    Building XZ Utils on Windows is supported under MinGW and Cygwin.

-    MSVC doesn't support C99, thus it is not possible to use MSVC to
-    compile XZ Utils. However, it is possible to use liblzma.dll from
-    MSVC once liblzma.dll has been built with MinGW. The required
-    import library for MSVC can be created from liblzma.def using the

+    Building XZ Utils on Windows is supported under MinGW + MSYS and
+    Cygwin. There is windows/build.sh to ease packaging XZ Utils with
+    MinGW + MSYS into a redistributable .zip or .7z file. See
+    windows/INSTALL-Windows.txt for more information.
 
-    On x86-64, the /machine argument has to naturally be changed:
+    It might be possible to build liblzma with a non-GNU toolchain too,
+    but that will probably require writing a separate makefile. Building
+    the command line tools with non-GNU toolchains will be harder than
+    building only liblzma.
 
-        lib /def:liblzma.def /out:liblzma.lib /machine:x64
+    Even if liblzma is built with MinGW, the resulting DLL or static
+    library can be used by other compilers and linkers, including MSVC.
+    Thus, it shouldn't be a problem to use MinGW to build liblzma even
+    if you cannot use MinGW to build the rest of your project. See
+    windows/README-Windows.txt for details.
