+=============================
+
+To cross compile for Windows from Linux or OSX using the MinGW-w64 toolchain::
+
+  nim c -d:mingw myproject.nim
+
+Use ``--cpu:i386`` or ``--cpu:amd64`` to switch the cpu arch.

+
+  Ubuntu: apt install mingw-w64
+  CentOS: yum install mingw32-gcc | mingw64-gcc - requires EPEL
