+Installing to Cygwin
+----
+
+This is based on installing onto a fresh default installation of Cygwin 2.4.1 (64-bit installation) running in Windows 10
+inside VMWare Fusion on a Mac. 
+
+Note: to enable Cygwin to resolve domain names, it was found necessary to go to Windows `Control Panel` > `Network and Internet` > `Network Connections` >
+`Ethernet0` > `Properties` > `Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)` > `Properties`, select `Use the following DNS server addresses`
+and enter valid DNS server addresses, e.g. `8.8.8.8`.
+
+* Use `Cygwin Setup` to install the following packages:
+ * `pkg-config`
+ * `autoconf`
+ *  `automake`
+ *  `clang`
+ *  `libdaemon-devel`
+ *  `popt-devel`
+ *  `make`
+ *  `libao-devel`
+ *  `openssl-devel`
+ *  `libtool`
+ *  `git`
+ * `wget` for convenience,
+ * `flex` for compiling `libconfig`
+ * `bison` for compiling `libconfig`
+
+* Download, compile, configure and install `libconfig`.
+
+For this, if your home directory name has a space in it, which happens by default with Cygwin, you should
+temporarily rename it to a single word, e.g. `Mike Brady` -> `mike`. This is to allow the `make install` script to work properly.
+```
+$ wget http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig/libconfig-1.5.tar.gz
+$ tar -xvzf  libconfig-1.5.tar.gz
+$ cd libconfig-1.5
+$ ./configure
+$ make
+$ make install
+``` 
+* Next, download, configure and compile Shairport Sync:
+```
+$ git clone https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync.git
+$ cd shairport-sync
+$ autoreconf -fi
+$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --with-ao --with-ssl=openssl
+$ make
+```
+* That's it. There should be a `shairport-sync.exe` file in your directory.
