#### 3.1.3 MinGW (Windows) build environment

You will need to install the MinGW environment from http://www.mingw.org. You also need to download and install LibreSSL (or OpenSSL) and LZO.

When tinc is compiled using MinGW it runs natively under Windows, it is not necessary to keep MinGW installed.

When detaching, tinc will install itself as a service, which will be restarted automatically after reboots.
