-The prerequisites for compiling for Windows are included in the git package.
+The prerequisites for compiling for Windows are included in the git package. You have to provide a framework like ''Visual Studio'' and have to install ''CMake'' and ''grep''. For ''grep'' you might pick "Complete package, except sources" from [[http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/grep.htm|here]]. It's recommended to install this grep as an adminstrator and then by hand look for grep's bin-path and add this to the systemwide PATH environment variable (this grep installer does //not// do this for you). For ''CMake'' look [[https://cmake.org/download/|here]].
+If you have all the tools together, clone a ''pilight'' git repository to your local disk, open a windows ''command line prompt'' and change directory to where your local ''pilight'' repository remains. Then run <code>CMake .</code> which will create all your framework specific "makefiles" needed to compile and build ''pilight''.
