+                   Building the Nmap Installer for Windows
+                   =======================================
+
+
+I. ZENMAP BUILD DEPENDENCIES
+
+The dependencies of Zenmap are stored in Subversion in the directory
+/nmap-mswin32-aux. This should be checked out in a sibling directory
+to the 'nmap' source code directory you wish to build.  See the file
+Python-upgrade.txt there for more information.
+
+
+II. OTHER REQUIREMENTS
+
+You'll need Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 for compilation.
+Directions for obtaining that are at:
+https://nmap.org/install/inst-windows.html#inst-win-source.
+
+You'll also need Cygwin installed in order to build the Nmap installer
+(not required for normal compiling).  You'll find it at
+http://www.cygwin.com/.
+
+And last, you'll need the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System installed.
+You can download if from http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download  (Version
+2.46 tested). Install in "C:\Program Files\NSIS" even if it offers
+"C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS".
+
+
+III. BUILDING
+
+With all of the requirements and dependencies installed, open up a
+Cygwin shell and go to the mswin32 directory in the Nmap directory and
+type "make". This may take several minutes, and will create an
+executable installer and a zip archive (nmap-<version>-setup.exe and
+nmap-<version>-win32.zip).
+
+
+IV. INSTALLATION PATHS / PROBLEMS
+
+If you have the dependencies of Zenmap installed in a directory other
+than nmap-mswin32-aux, then you need to edit the copy_and_compile.bat
+file under zenmap/install_scripts/windows and change the path variables.
