#### 3.1.3 MinGW (Windows) build environment

You will need to install the MinGW environment from http://www.mingw.org.

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.
