-Experimental Support for Windows
---------------------------------
+Support for Windows
+-------------------
 
-The Windows support requires building with clang-cl as cl does not support one
-required extension: `#include_next`.  Furthermore, VS 2015 or newer (19.00) is
-required.  In the case of clang-cl, we need to specify the "MS Compatibility
-Version" as it defaults to 2014 (18.00).
+libcxx supports being built with clang-cl, but not with MSVC's cl.exe, as
+cl doesn't support the `#include_next` extension. Furthermore, VS 2017 or
+newer (19.14) is required.
+
+libcxx also supports being built with clang targeting MinGW environments.

+CMake + ninja (MSVC)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 Building with ninja is required for development to enable tests.
-Unfortunately, doing so requires additional configuration as we cannot
-just specify a toolset.
+Running the tests also requires a Bash shell and Python to be available.
+
+If Git for Windows is available, that can be used to provide the bash
+shell by adding the right bin directory to the path, e.g.
+`set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin`.
+
+Alternatively, one can also choose to run the whole build in a MSYS2
+shell. That can be set up e.g. by starting a Visual Studio Tools Command
+Prompt (for getting the environment variables pointing to the headers and
+import libraries), and making sure that clang-cl is available in the
+path. From there, launch an MSYS2 shell via e.g.
+`C:\msys64\msys2_shell.cmd -full-path -mingw64` (preserving the earlier
+environment, allowing the MSVC headers/libraries and clang-cl to be found).
+
+In either case, then run:

+
+Note that by default `check-cxx` will invoke `clang++`, not `clang-cl`.
+If you have installed the MSYS2-provided clang package (which defaults
+to a non-MSVC target), you should tell `check-cxx` to make `clang++`
+use the right target by adding
+`-DLIBCXX_TARGET_TRIPLE=x86_64-windows-msvc` to the `cmake` command line
+above.
+
+Also note that if not building in Release mode, a failed assert in the tests
+pops up a blocking dialog box, making it hard to run a larger number of tests.
+
+CMake + ninja (MinGW)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+libcxx can also be built in MinGW environments, e.g. with the MinGW
+compilers in MSYS2. This requires clang to be available (installed with
+e.g. the `mingw-w64-x86_64-clang` package), together with CMake and ninja.

-Note that the paths specified with backward slashes must use the `\\` as the

+  > cp /mingw64/bin/{libstdc++-6,libgcc_s_seh-1,libwinpthread-1}.dll lib
+  > ninja check-cxx
+
+As this build configuration ends up depending on a couple other DLLs that
+aren't available in path while running tests, copy them into the same
+directory as the tested libc++ DLL.
+
+(Building a libc++ that depends on libstdc++ isn't necessarily a config one
+would want to deploy, but it simplifies the config for testing purposes.)
