+You can build OpenOCD for Windows natively with either MinGW-w64/MSYS
+or Cygwin (plain MinGW might work with --disable-werror but is not
+recommended as it doesn't provide enough C99 compatibility).
+Alternatively, one can cross-compile it using MinGW-w64 on a *nix
 host. See README for the generic instructions.
 
+Native MinGW-w64/MSYS compilation
+-----------------------------
+
+As MSYS doesn't come with pkg-config pre-installed, you need to add it
+manually. The easiest way to do that is to download pkg-config-lite
+from:
+
+  http://sourceforge.net/projects/pkgconfiglite/
+
+Then simply unzip the archive to the root directory of your MinGW-w64
+installation.
