+@subsection MinGW (Windows) build environment
+
+You will need to install the MinGW environment from @uref{http://www.mingw.org}.
+
+When tinc is compiled using MinGW it runs natively under Windows,
+it is not necessary to keep MinGW installed.
+
+When running natively, tinc is not able to start scripts,
+nor is tinc able to receive signals.
+When detaching, tinc will install itself as a service,
+which will be restarted automatically after reboots.
