+# Running on Windows using MSYS2
+
+The following are instructions for building whisper-rs on Windows using the msys2 set of compilers. 
+
+1. install msys2/mingw by following [https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-mingw](`https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-mingw`)
+   1. Install g++ and make within msys2 ucrt64
+      - `pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain`
+   2. Add the msys2 ucrt64 bin folder to path `C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin`
+2. Install make by running `pacman -S make` in msys2 ucrt66
+3. Set rust to use msys2: by running `rustup toolchain install stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu` in Windows Powershell/Cmd
+4. Add `.cargo/config.toml` file in the project with the following contents: 
+```
+[target.x86_64-pc-windows-gnu]
+linker = "C:\\msys64\\ucrt64\\bin\\gcc.exe"
+ar = "C:\\msys64\\ucrt64\\bin\\ar.exe"
+```
+5. Run `cargo run`  in Windows Powershell/Cmd
+
+# Running on Windows using Microsoft Visual Studio C++
+
+It has been reported that it is also possible to build whisper-rs using Visual Studio C++. 
+
+Make sure you have installed and in the path: 
+
+- Visual Studio C++
+- cmake
+
+You may need to clone the git repository instead of using the Cargo package.
+
+# Running on M1 OSX
+
+To build on a M1 Mac, make sure to add the following to your project's `.cargo/config.toml`: 
+
+```
+[target.aarch64-apple-darwin]
+rustflags = "-lc++ -l framework=Accelerate"
+```

 Lower level bindings are exposed if needed, but the above should be enough for most use cases.

 ## Troubleshooting
 
 * I get an error about a lot of undefined symbols at compile time!
   * These symbols might be part of the C++ standard library.
     * Try linking against it with the `-Clink-args=-lstdc++` compiler flag: 
     * `RUSTFLAGS="-Clink-args=-lstdc++" cargo build`
-* Windows/macOS/Android aren't working!
+* macOS/Android aren't working!
   * I don't have a way to test these platforms, so I can't really help you.
-    * If you can get it working, please open a PR!
+    * If you can get it working, please open a PR with any changes to make it work and build instructions in BUILDING.md!
 * I get a panic during binding generation build!
   * You can attempt to fix it yourself, or you can set the `WHISPER_DONT_GENERATE_BINDINGS` environment variable.
     This skips attempting to build the bindings whatsoever and copies the existing ones. They may be out of date,
     but it's better than nothing.
     * `WHISPER_DONT_GENERATE_BINDINGS=1 cargo build`
   * If you can fix the issue, please open a PR!
