Cdrkit suite can be compiled on Windows XP (Service Pack 2) using cygwin
environment and tools set, available on:

	http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/

and many mirrors.

To compile on Cygwin, execute setup.exe to install it. You will need to select
cmake, make, libiconv and gcc compiler in the package selection. Also choose
subversion if you wish to fetch the latest development version.

When done, you can start the Cygwin Shell by the new icon in the Start menu or
on the desktop. Visit cdrkit.org and download a tarball of a recent version and store it under <cygwin_directory>\home\your_user_name.

Untar the package with tar -z -x -f <tarball>, go into this directory and run
"make", followed by "make install". Ignore messages about clock skew etc.

NOTE: with some versions of Cygwin or cmake shipped with it, the installation
fails for unknown reason. In this case, you can browse trough the build/
directory, pick up the .exe files there and read the manpage files in
application directories with the man command ("man wodim/wodim.1").

Windows drives are available in paths like /cygdrive/c/, /cygdrive/d/. The
drive IDs can be detected using "wodim -scanbus". See wodim's manpage for
details.

STANDARD WARNING: test in dummy mode before you really write data to the disks.
Report trouble to Cdrkit maintainers.
