-Cross Compiling to Windows
-==========================
-
-Cross compiling mpv to Windows is supported with MinGW-w64. This can be used to
-produce both 32 bit and 64 bit executables. MinGW-w64 is available from
-http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net.
-
-You have to run mpv's configure with these arguments:
-
-```bash
-DEST_OS=win32 TARGET=i686-w64-mingw32 ./waf configure
-```
-
-While building a complete MinGW-w64 toolchain yourself is possible, people have
-created scripts to help ease the process. In particular, [MXE](http://mxe.cc)
-makes it very easy to bootstrap a complete MingGW-w64 environment from scratch.
-See a working example below.
-
-Alternatively, you can try [mingw-w64-cmake](https://github.com/lachs0r/mingw-w64-cmake),
-which bootstraps a MinGW-w64 environment and builds mpv and dependencies.
-
-**Warning**: the original MinGW (http://www.mingw.org) is unsupported.
-
-Note that MinGW environments included in Linux distributions are often broken,
-outdated and useless, and usually don't use MinGW-w64.
-
-Additional dependencies
------------------------
-
-You need a pthread wrapper. It must be interoperable with native Windows
-threads. pthreads-win32 or MinGW pthreads might work.
-
-If you want ``--input-file=...`` to work, you need libwaio. It's available
-from: git://midipix.org/waio
-
-Example with MXE
-----------------
-
-```bash
-# Before starting, make sure you install MXE prerequisites. MXE will download
-# and build all target dependencies, but no host dependencies. For example,
-# you need a working compiler, or MXE can't build the crosscompiler.
-#
-# Refer to
-#
-# http://mxe.cc/#requirements
-#
-# Scroll down for disto/OS-specific instructions to install them.
-
-# Download MXE. Note that compiling the required packages requires about 1.4 GB
-# or more!
-
-cd /opt
-git clone https://github.com/mxe/mxe mxe
-cd mxe
-
-# Set build options.
-
-# The JOBS environment variable controls threads to use when building. DO NOT
-# use the regular `make -j4` option with MXE as it will slow down the build.
-# Alternatively, you can set this in the make command by appending "JOBS=4"
-# to the end of command:
-echo "JOBS := 4" >> settings.mk
-
-# The MXE_TARGET environment variable builds MinGW-w64 for 32 bit targets.
-# Alternatively, you can specify this in the make command by appending
-# "MXE_TARGETS=i686-w64-mingw32" to the end of command:
-echo "MXE_TARGETS := i686-w64-mingw32.static" >> settings.mk
-
-# If you want to build 64 bit version, use this:
-# echo "MXE_TARGETS := x86_64-w64-mingw32.static" >> settings.mk
-
-# Build required packages. The following provide a minimum required to build
-# mpv.
-
-make gcc ffmpeg libass jpeg pthreads
-
-# Add MXE binaries to $PATH
-export PATH=/opt/mxe/usr/bin/:$PATH
-
-# Build mpv. The target will be used to automatically select the name of the
-# build tools involved (e.g. it will use i686-w64-mingw32.static-gcc).
-
-cd ..
-git clone https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv.git
-cd mpv
-DEST_OS=win32 TARGET=i686-w64-mingw32.static ./waf configure
-# Or, if 64 bit version,
-# DEST_OS=win32 TARGET=x86_64-w64-mingw32.static ./waf configure
-./waf build
