-Since 2.1.99-test5, pciutils should also be compilable on Windows.
+Since 2.1.99-test5, pciutils should also be compilable on Windows. Thanks
+to Alexander Stock for contributing the port.
 
-However, you need to configure the package manually:
+Updated after version 2.2.6 to compile again, and with MinGW, even (only?)
+cross-compiling. (Hopefully it works with MSVC too.)
 
-lib/config.mk:
+For simple listing PCI devices in system with basic information, there is no
+special requirement. To list PCI resources on Windows 8 and higher versions,
+it is necessary to have architecture-native version (e.g. AMD64 version on
+AMD64 systems).
 
-ARCH_I386=1
-HAVE_PM_INTEL_CONF=1 
-OS_WINDOWS=1 
+To access config space on NT-based systems, it is required to have SeTcbPrivilege
+(Act as part of the operating system privilege), which can be enabled in User
+Accounts settings (take effect after next login). By default this privilege is
+not enabled for any non-system user. Or alternatively it is required to be in
+local Administrators group and on Windows 2000 SP4 or higher systems to have
+SeImpersonatePrivilege (Impersonate a client after authentication privilege)
+which is by default enabled for all local Administrators accounts. There is no
+special requirement for DOS-based systems. 64-bit systems do not have to allow
+users to access config space even with SeTcbPrivilege.
 
-lib/config.h:
+To compile this port, run following command:
 
-#define ARCH_I386
-#define OS_WINDOWS
-#define HAVE_PM_INTEL_CONF
-#define PATH_PCI_IDS "pci.ids"
-#define PCILIB_VERSION "2.1.99-test5"
+  make CROSS_COMPILE=i586-mingw32msvc- HOST=i586-windows ZLIB=no IDSDIR=""
+
+To build 64-bit version, run:
+
+  make CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-w64-mingw32- HOST=x86_64-windows ZLIB=no IDSDIR=""
+
+Sometimes compilation may fail due to broken or missing getopt implementation.
+In this case try to compile with additional make option: COMPAT_GETOPT=yes
+
+================================================================================
+BEWARE: The current implementation pokes I/O ports to access the PCI devices
+directly. This leads to several problems: some devices are invisible, extended
+PCIe configuration space is not available, and there are many potential race
+conditions. Instead, libpci should use the proper Windows drivers.
