+This describes the supported build method for building for Windows.
+
+Build can only be done on Linux and the Nix package manager must be installed first.
+Install Nix from: http://nixos.org/nix/
+
+Then you need to checkout a slignely patched version of the Nix packages collections.
+This is needed because it has fixes enabling cross-compilation of NSPR and NSS to Windows.
+
+git clone -b cross-mingw-nss --single-branch https://github.com/ambrop72/nixpkgs
+
+It may be faster to download a zip from Github: https://github.com/ambrop72/nixpkgs/archive/cross-mingw-nss.zip
+
+Then you can build with the following command from the badvpn source directory:
+
+NIX_PATH=nixpkgs=<path-to-nixpkgs> nix-build build-win32.nix -A badvpnPkgs.badvpn -o <output-link-path>
+
+Upon success the chosen <output-link-path> will be a symlink to a directory with the build outputs.
