 How to compile fio on 64-bit Windows:
 
  1. Install Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/). Install **make** and all

+    packages starting with **mingw64-x86_64**. Ensure
+    **mingw64-x86_64-zlib** are installed if you wish

  2. Open the Cygwin Terminal.
  3. Go to the fio directory (source files).
  4. Run ``make clean && make -j``.

+to the end of the configure line that you run before doing ``make``.
 
 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
