+Setting up cross-compilation environment for Tux4Kids applications:
+
+Base system used: Ubuntu Karmic Koala, 32-bit (with gcc 4.4.1)
+
+1. Install mingw crossbuild system - obtain x86-mingw32-build-1.0.sh.tar.bz2 from url below:
+
+http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files
+
+Look under "Cross-Hosted MinGW Build Tool", then "Current Release", then "x86-mingw32-build-1.0", then "x86-mingw32-build-1.0-sh.tar.bz2"
+
+Unpack in convenient location, cd to resulting directory and run script contained therein:
+
+sh x86-mingw32-build.sh i586-mingw32-gcc
+
+The script is interactive and easy-to-follow. You should enable C++ support because at least one dependent lib needs it.
+
+The build system can go in a location of your choosing.  I used /usr/local/mingw32.  This required suitable adjustment of my system's file permissions to give my ordinary account privileges to write there.
