 How to compile fio on 64-bit Windows:
 
  1. Install Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/). Install **make** and all
-    packages starting with **mingw64-i686** and **mingw64-x86_64**.
+    packages starting with **mingw64-x86_64**. Ensure
+    **mingw64-x86_64-zlib** are installed if you wish
+    to enable fio's log compression functionality.
  2. Open the Cygwin Terminal.
  3. Go to the fio directory (source files).
  4. Run ``make clean && make -j``.
 
-To build fio on 32-bit Windows, run ``./configure --build-32bit-win`` before
-``make``.
+To build fio for 32-bit Windows, ensure the -i686 versions of the previously
+mentioned -x86_64 packages are installed and run ``./configure

 It's recommended that once built or installed, fio be run in a Command Prompt or
 other 'native' console such as console2, since there are known to be display and
 signal issues when running it under a Cygwin shell (see
-http://code.google.com/p/mintty/issues/detail?id=56 for details).
