+Guide how to cross build for windoof
+====================================
+
+## Get Source
+
+Change into an EMPTY directory and do:
+
+```sh
+git clone --depth=256 https://github.com/hiddenalpha/DeflateAndInflate.git ./.
+```
+
+
+## Choose an alpine system
+
+Take the alpine system you want to use as build env. A nice way to
+achieve this is via docker.
+
+In the command below, make sure WORK points to the dir where you cloned
+the project to.
+
+```sh
+true\
+    && WORK="${PWD:?}" \
+    && IMG=alpine:3.17.2 \
+    && CNTR=DeflateAndInflate-AlpineMingw64 \
+    && docker pull "${IMG:?}" \
+    && docker create --name "${CNTR:?}" -v "${WORK:?}:/work" -w /work "${IMG:?}" sh -c "while true;do sleep 1||break;done" \
+    && docker start "${CNTR:?}" \
+    && true
+```
+
+All snippets here assume this docker setup. But can easily be used
+without docker and should work in any POSIX compliant shell. For this
+only copy the shell script inside the ticks (') of each command. In
+other words just use the part starting with *true* and ending with
+another *true*.
+
+
+## Setup dependencies
+
+```sh
+docker exec -ti -u0:0 "${CNTR:?}" sh -c 'true \
+    && apk add curl git make mingw-w64-gcc tar \
+    && ZLIB_VERSION="1.2.11" \
+    && THEOLDPWD="$PWD" \
+    && cd /tmp \
+    && curl -LsS -o "/tmp/zlib-${ZLIB_VERSION}.tgz" "https://github.com/madler/zlib/archive/refs/tags/v${ZLIB_VERSION:?}.tar.gz" \
+    && tar xzf "/tmp/zlib-${ZLIB_VERSION:?}.tgz" \
+    && export SRCDIR="/tmp/zlib-${ZLIB_VERSION:?}" \
+    && mkdir $SRCDIR/build \
+    && cd "${SRCDIR:?}" \
+    && export DESTDIR=./build BINARY_PATH=/bin INCLUDE_PATH=/include LIBRARY_PATH=/lib \
+    && sed -i "s;^PREFIX =.\*\$;;" win32/Makefile.gcc \
+    && make -e -fwin32/Makefile.gcc PREFIX=x86_64-w64-mingw32- \
+    && make -e -fwin32/Makefile.gcc install PREFIX=x86_64-w64-mingw32- \
+    && unset DESTDIR BINARY_PATH INCLUDE_PATH LIBRARY_PATH \
+    && cp README build/. \
+    && (cd build && rm -rf lib/pkgconfig) \
+    && (cd build && find -type f -not -name MD5SUM -exec md5sum -b {} + > MD5SUM) \
+    && (cd build && tar --owner=0 --group=0 -cz *) > /tmp/zlib-1.2.11-windoof.tgz \
+    && cd / \
+    && rm -rf /tmp/zlib-1.2.11 \
+    && mkdir -p /usr/local/x86_64-w64-mingw32 \
+    && tar -C /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32 -f /tmp/zlib-1.2.11-windoof.tgz -x include lib \
+    && cd "${THEOLDPWD:?}" \
+    && unset THEOLDPWD ZLIB_VERSION \
+    && true'
+```
+
+## configure & make
+
+Build the project itself.
+
+```sh
+docker exec -ti -u$(id -u):$(id -g) "${CNTR:?}" sh -c 'true\
+    && export CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc \
+    && sh ./configure \
+    && make -e clean \
+    && make -e \
+    && true'
+```
+
+A ready-to-distribute tarball is now available in `./dist/`. If you'd
+like to install it somewhere else, all you need is this tarball. If you
+want to install on same system where you did build you can continue with
+the *install* step below.
+
+ 
+## install
+
+There is no trivial *make-install* equivalent for windoof. Therefore
+unpack the tarball into an appropriate directory of your choise and make
+sure *bin* subdir is in your PATH.
