   If your distribution doesn't include a recent enough win32api, you can download it from the [http://www.mingw.org/ MinGW site], extract it into your `win32-dev` directory, and override the `INCLUDE_PATHS` and `LIB_PATHS` variables in your `local.mak` as I have done.
 
+  If you want to build the installers, you'll need to build the GTK+ installer as mentioned above.  However, the `build.sh` script referenced above needs to be changed.  The line starting with `makensis.exe` needs to be changed to read:
+{{{
+makensis -V3 -DGTK_VERSION=$gtk_version -DGTK_REVISION=$gtk_revision gtk-installer.nsi
+}}}

-  ** Note: I haven't been able to get the NSIS installer to build correctly on my 64-bit Linux system.
-
-  ** Note 2: If you receive header-related errors, such as missing files (like `dlfcn.h`) or implicit declarations of functions (like `getaddrinfo`), then you probably have a leftover `config.h` from a native build that defines incorrect information. You must delete (or rename) `config.h` in order to build successfully.
-
-  ** Note 3: If you get errors involving icon data, edit the files and replace the preprocessor macros + strings in the ICON definitions at the bottom of the files with the entire path to the icon files, i.e. replace PIXMAPDIR "available_4bit.ico" with "pixmaps/tray/16/available_4bit.ico". This worked for me. --Adam Shiemke
