-This is the experimental, community-supported Windows port of MicroPython.
-It is based on Unix port, and expected to remain so.
-The port requires additional testing, debugging, and patches. Please
-consider to contribute.
-
-
-Building on Debian/Ubuntu Linux system
----------------------------------------
-
- sudo apt-get install gcc-mingw-w64
- make CROSS_COMPILE=i686-w64-mingw32-
-
-If for some reason the mingw-w64 crosscompiler is not available, you can try
-mingw32 instead, but it comes with a really old gcc which may produce some
-spurious errors (you may need to disable -Werror):
-
- sudo apt-get install mingw32 mingw32-binutils mingw32-runtime
- make CROSS_COMPILE=i586-mingw32msvc-
-
-
-Building under Cygwin
----------------------
-
-Install following packages using cygwin's setup.exe:
-
-* mingw64-i686-gcc-core
-* mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core
-* make
-
-Build using:
-
- make CROSS_COMPILE=i686-w64-mingw32-
-
-Or for 64bit:
-
- make CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-w64-mingw32-
-
-
-Building using MS Visual Studio 2013 (or higher)
-------------------------------------------------
-
-In the IDE, open `micropython.vcxproj` and build.
-
-To build from the command line:
-
- msbuild micropython.vcxproj
-
-__Stack usage__
-
-The msvc compiler is quite stack-hungry which might result in a "maximum recursion depth exceeded"
-RuntimeError for code with lots of nested function calls.
-There are several ways to deal with this:
-- increase the threshold used for detection by altering the argument to `mp_stack_set_limit` in `unix/main.c`
-- disable detection all together by setting `MICROPY_STACK_CHECK` to "0" in `windows/mpconfigport.h`
-- disable the /GL compiler flag by setting `WholeProgramOptimization` to "false"
-
-See [issue 2927](https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/2927) for more information.

-
-Running on Linux using Wine
----------------------------
-
-The default build (MICROPY_USE_READLINE=1) uses extended Windows console
-functions and thus should be ran using the `wineconsole` tool. Depending
-on the Wine build configuration, you may also want to select the curses
-backend which has the look&feel of a standard Unix console:
-
- wineconsole --backend=curses ./micropython.exe
-
-For more info, see https://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/cui-programs .
-
-If built without line editing and history capabilities
-(MICROPY_USE_READLINE=0), the resulting binary can be run using the standard
-`wine` tool.
