+== Buidling Mussa on Windows ==
+
+Building Mussa on Windows takes a bit of effort, which is why we provide pre-built binary installers. This section contains additional Windows specific information about building Mussa in windows.
+
+== Boost Libraries ==
+
+For some reason (haven't bothered to look into the details yet), boost builds some of the libraries with .lib, but mingw looks for .a, so, it's required to copy/rename a few libraries to have the .a extension. Below is a list of command prompt commands to make copies of the files needed by Mussa.
+
+{{{
+copy C:\Boost\lib\libboost_filesystem-mgw-s.lib C:\Boost\lib\libboost_filesystem-mgw-s.a
+copy C:\Boost\lib\libboost_program_options-mgw-s.lib C:\Boost\lib\libboost_program_options-mgw-s.a
+copy C:\Boost\lib\libboost_serialization-mgw.lib C:\Boost\lib\libboost_serialization-mgw.a
+copy C:\Boost\lib\libboost_unit_test_framework-mgw-s.lib C:\Boost\lib\libboost_unit_test_framework-mgw-s.a
+}}}
+
+== Python Libraries ==
+
+Because boost python bindings haven't been updated to Python 2.5 yet, the Python features of Mussa still require Python 2.3 or Python 2.4. If you get an error such as:
+
+{{{
+Linking CXX executable mussagl.exe
+CMakeFiles/mussagl.dir/qui/mussagl.obj(.text+0xa56): In function `main':
+C:/proj/mussa/qui/mussagl.cpp:102: undefined reference to `_imp__PyErr_Print'
+CMakeFiles/mussagl.dir/qui/mussagl.obj(.text$_ZN5boost6python3api6objectC2Ev[boo
+st::python::api::object::object()]+0x7): In function `ZN5boost6python6detail11up

+C:/Boost/include/boost-1_33_1/boost/python/cast.hpp: undefined reference to `_im
+p___Py_NoneStruct'
+}}}
+
+It probably means you are trying to link against Python 2.5. Download Python 2.4 and tell cmake to use Python 2.4.
