 Unlike original client by Valve the resulting client library will not depend on vgui or SDL2 just like the one that's used in FWGS Xash3d.
 
+Note for **Windows**: it's not possible to create GoldSource compatible libraries using mingw, only msvc builds will work.
+
 Note for **Linux**: GoldSource requires libraries (both client and server) to be compiled with libstdc++ bundled with g++ of major version 4 (versions from 4.6 to 4.9 should work).
 If your Linux distribution does not provide compatible g++ version you have several options.
