+# NOTE FOR WINDOWS USERS
+
+If you are reading this and just want to use Dia rather than
+compiling/extending it, you are in the wrong place.  Please go to
+http://dia-installer.sourceforge.net and download the precompiled, easily
+installable binary.
+
+Otherwise, please read on :)
+
+# Requirements
+
+## General
+
+Dia is currently built using [meson](https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson).  Meson can be installed either 
via a package manager or run directly from source code.  Please take 2 minutes to read their [Quick 
Guide](https://mesonbuild.com/Quick-guide.html).  It provides all the needed information to obtain meson and 
run it.
+
+Build requirements are documented in the root [meson.build](/meson.build) file.  Meson is designed to be 
readable so please have a skim through the file.  Some dependencies are required, while others are optional.
+
+As can be seen from `meson.build`, the main requirements are **GTK2**, **libxml2** and **zlib**.  Note: at 
the moment, **intltool** (`intltool-merge`) is also required.
+
+For reference, a number of other libraries are recommended for extra features.  However, not all these have 
been moved to meson.  It is recommended you run `meson build` (to configure the build directory) and then 
check which optional dependencies are not found: 
+
+- Cairo is used for anti-alised rendering to screen or PNG as well as PDF:
+  - http://cairographics.org
+  - Minimum version required (if at all) is 1.6
+- Libart allows anti-aliased rendering and anti-aliased export to PNG:
+  - http://www.artofcode.com/libart.html
+- Libpng is need for libart based anti-aliased PNG export:
+  http://download.sourceforge.net/libpng/
+- Libxslt allows export through XSLT translation schemas:
+  - ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libxslt/
+- **Python scripting is also possible** by installing Python 2.7 (note that meson requires python 3, 
therefore python2 needs to be explicitly installed) and pygtk.
+
+## Windows
+
+Currently (as of 1f930b94) the Windows build is under heavy development and not all features are supported.  
Help is always welcome!
+
+The following configuration is supported however: MSYS2 (Pacman v5.1.2) + Mingw64 on Windows 10.
+
+It is recommended you develop Dia in a Virtual Machine since Windows 10 is free to download.
+
+For all git-related operations, it is recommended you use https://gitforwindows.org/ instead of MSYS2.
+
+Please read MSYS2 instructions on https://www.msys2.org/ and their wiki carefully before installing MSYS2.  
They have three different environments: MSYS2, Mingw64 and Mingw32.  **ALL** packages must be installed from 
MSYS2 environment, and all development needs to be performed from Mingw64 one.
+
+It is also recommended you use the source version of meson (https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson) rather than 
using the MSYS2 one.  However, it is still recommended you install meson from `pacman` since it has a few 
dependencies, most notably `ninja`
+
+It is also recommended you read https://www.gtk.org/download/windows.php, even though it is for GTK3 instead 
of GTK2.
+
+Assuming you are all set and that pacman is up to date, you'll need to install at least the following 
packages:
+```
+base-devel
+mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
+mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk2
+mingw-w64-x86_64-python2
+mingw-w64-x86_64-python2-pygtk
+intltool
+```
+
+You might need to install additional packages.  Please file an issue / merge request with the updated 
packages to ensure others know what to install also.
+
+# Building and Running
+
+Please make sure you at least skim the Meson [Quick Guide](https://mesonbuild.com/Quick-guide.html) before 
building.
+
+There are currently (as of 1f930b94) two ways to run Dia:
+
+## 1. Installing to a local prefix
+```
+cd path/to/dia
+path/to/meson.py build -Dprefix=`pwd`/build/install
+cd build
+ninja install
+# Wait for meson to configure, build and install
+# If missing dependencies, please check "Requirements" section
+./install/bin/dia
+```
+
+## 2. Using `run_with_dia_env` (recommended only on *nix) 
+```
+cd path/to/dia
+path/to/meson.py build
+cd build
+ninja
+./run_with_dia_env ./app/dia
+```
+
+## Running tests
+
+Build dia then simply do `ninja test`.
+
+## Windows issues
+The most common issue currently on MSYS2 is that paths are incorrect.  There are two potential types of 
issues that you need to be aware of:
+
+1. "libdia.dll not found":  This happens because PATH does not contain the directory where libdia.dll is 
located.  Simply add that directory to PATH, e.g. `PATH=$(pwd)/lib/:$PATH ./run_with_dia_env ./app/dia`
+2. "Python site module not found":  This is because PYTHONPATH or PYTHONHOME are not set.  Simply set both 
to /mingw64/lib/python2.7 and that should resolve the issue.
+
+# Installing
+
+Simply do `ninja install`.
