 The following development environments are currently supported for libwdi on Windows:
-  * [http://www.mingw.org MinGW] (32 bit) or [http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/ MinGW-w64]. To compile a library that is both 32 and 64 bit compatible, you should use a version of MinGW-w64 that supports both -m32 and -m64
