 ## Building on Windows itself
 
-According to Matthias Gondon the core system (i.e., without packages)
-can be build on Windows as follows:
-
-  - Download mingw-get from http://www.mingw.org, run the program
-  - From the “Basic setup”, install packages =|mingw32-developer-toolkit,
-    mingw32-base, mingw32-gcc, mingw32-gfortran, mingw32-g++|=
-  - From “All packages”, select =|mingw32-gmp|=
-  - Extract current swipl sources to a folder that *does not contain spaces*
-  - =|cd swipl-devel/src|=
-  - =|autoconf|=
-  - =|autoheader|=
-  - =|./configure|=
-  - =|make|=
-
-This requires a version *after Feb 6, 2017* (GIT, releases 7.4.0-rc2 and
-7.5.1)
-
-Building the full system is probably possible using the instructions in
-the above mentioned =|README.mingw|= file. Please send comment and or
-fixes if you try this. Note that cross compiling is much faster because
-SWI-Prolog depends on an extensive =configure= script that executes slow
-on the MSYS bash implementation.
+According to Matthias Gondon most of the system can be build on Windows
+as follows:
+
+  - install msys2 from msys2.org
+  - ``pacman -Syu``
+  - ``pacman -Syu``
+  - ``pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake git make mingw-w64-x86_64-libjpeg mingw-w64-x86_64-xpm-nox mingw-w64-x86_64-libyaml mingw-w64-x86_64-diffutils mingw-w64-x86_64-pcre mingw-w64-x86_64-db libdb-devel``
+  - ``ftp: download libuuid-1.6.2.tar.gz from ftp (dot) ossp (dot) org/pkg/lib/uuid/, configure --prefix=/usr/local, make, make install, ignore the error relating to strip.exe``
+  - ``git clone https://github.com/SWI-Prolog/swipl-devel.git``
+  - ``cd swipl-devel``
+  - ``git submodule update --init``
+  - ``mkdir build``
+  - ``cd build``
+  - ``cmake -DMINGW_ROOT=/mingw64 -DLIBUUID_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include -DUUID_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/libuuid.a -DBDB_LIBRARY=/mingw64/bin/libdb-6.0.dll -DINSTALL_DOCUMENTATION=OFF -DSWIPL_PACKAGES_X=OFF -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local -G "MSYS Makefiles" ..``
