[Mitch Bradley <wmb@...>]

Here's what I did. I made some missteps along the way, but these are 
the successful steps:

a) Installed msys at C:\msys

b) Installed various mingw components at C:\msys\1.0\mingw

c) Unpacked kicad-sources at C:\kicad-dev

d) Unpacked wxwidgets sources at C:\wxWidgets-2.6.3\

e) Compiled wxWidgets with:
cd /c/wxWidgets-2.6.3
sh /c/kicad-dev/mybuild_wxWidgets_windows.txt
make
make install

j) In 
c:/msys/1.0/local/lib/wx/include/msw-ansi-release-static-2.6/wx/setup.h 
, checked
the #defines for WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4_0 , wxUSE_MOUSEWHEEL ,
wxUSE_HOTKEY , and wxUSE_GLCANVAS (see 
kicad-dev/how-to-build-kicad.txt).
I don't remember whether or not I had to change any of them. My 
best guess is that
they were already set to the correct values.

k) Edited C:/kicad-dev/libs.win:
Commented out the following lines (by adding # at the beginning):
UNICODELIB = u
SRCSUFF = cpp
OBJSUFF = o

Changed:
ALL_CPPFLAGS += 
-I$(WXWIN)/lib/wx/include/msw-unicode-release-static$(WXLIBVERSION)
to:
#EXTRACPPFLAGS += 
-I$(WXWIN)/lib/wx/include/msw-unicode-release-static$(WXLIBVERSION)
EXTRACPPFLAGS += 
-I$(WXWIN)/lib/wx/include/msw-ansi-release-static$(WXLIBVERSION)

I have not tried to compile the unicode version.

l) In the following files:
3d-viewer/makefile.include , common/makefile.include, 
cvpcb/makefile.include ,
eeschema/makefile.include , gerbview/makefile.include, 
kicad/makefile.include , pcbnew/makefile.include,
kicad/makefile.g95

Changed
EXTRACPPFLAGS=
to
EXTRACPPFLAGS +=

m) Built kicad with:
cd /c/kicad-dev
export WXWIN=/c/wxWidgets-2.6.3
make -f makefile.g95
