+Then copy setargv.obj to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\lib
+
+Alternatively, if you don't need perlglob.exe and don't need to enable the
+USE_SETARGV option then you can safely just remove all mention of $(GLOBEXE)
+from win32/Makefile and setargv.obj won't be required anyway.

+Perl should now build using the win32/Makefile. You will need to edit that
+file to set
+
+ CCTYPE = MSVC70FREE
+
+and to set CCHOME, CCINCDIR and CCLIBDIR as per the environment setup above.

+
+The nmake that comes with the Platform SDK will suffice for building
+Perl. Make sure you are building within one of the "Build Environment"
+shells available after you install the Platform SDK from the Start Menu.

+=item MinGW release 3 with gcc
+
+The latest release of MinGW at the time of writing is 3.1.0, which contains
+gcc-3.2.3. It can be downloaded here:
+
+ http://www.mingw.org/
+
+Perl also compiles with earlier releases of gcc (2.95.2 and up). See below
+for notes about using earlier versions of MinGW/gcc.
+
+You also need dmake. See L</"Make"> above on how to get it.
+
+=item MinGW release 1 with gcc
+
+The MinGW-1.1 bundle contains gcc-2.95.3.
+
+Make sure you install the binaries that work with MSVCRT.DLL as indicated
+in the README for the GCC bundle. You may need to set up a few environment
+variables (usually ran from a batch file).
+
+There are a couple of problems with the version of gcc-2.95.2-msvcrt.exe
+released 7 November 1999:

+
+=item *
+
+It left out a fix for certain command line quotes. To fix this, be sure
+to download and install the file fixes/quote-fix-msvcrt.exe from the above
+ftp location.
+
+=item *
+
+The definition of the fpos_t type in stdio.h may be wrong. If your
+stdio.h has this problem, you will see an exception when running the
+test t/lib/io_xs.t. To fix this, change the typedef for fpos_t from
+"long" to "long long" in the file i386-mingw32msvc/include/stdio.h,
+and rebuild.

+A potentially simpler to install (but probably soon-to-be-outdated) bundle
+of the above package with the mentioned fixes already applied is available
