+## 1. What is midipix, and how is it different?
+
+midipix is a development environment that lets you create programs
+for Windows using the standard C and POSIX APIs. No compromises made,
+no shortcuts taken.
+
+If you are interested in cross-platform programming that reclaims
+the notion of write once, compile everywhere; if you believe that the
+'standard' in the C Standard Library should not be a null signifier;
+and if you like cooking your code without #ifdef hell and low-level
+minutiae, then this page is for you.
+
+midipix makes cross-platform programming better, simpler and faster,
+specifically by bringing a modern, conforming C Runtime Library to the
+Windows platform. While the idea itself is not new, the approach taken
+in midipix to code portability is radically different from that found
+in other projects.

+### 2.1. Building, installing and using a midipix distribution
+
+A Midipix distribution consists of the following:
+* the native Midipix toolchain, consisting of perk, gcc, its dependencies,
+ and binutils,
+* musl, a lightweight, fast, simple, and free libc[[1](https://www.musl-libc.org/faq.html)] used by Midipix,
+* the Midipix runtime components that bridge the gap between the libc and the
+ executive subsystems of all Windows NT-derived Windows OS starting with and
+ including Windows XP, and
+* a steadily increasing number of 3rd party open source packages, as expected in
+ any modern POSIX-compliant \*nix environment, including GNU coreutils, shells,
+ libraries such as ncurses, libressl, as well as Perl and Python.
+
+Install the build-time dependencies listed in section [2.1.1](#211-build-time-dependencies),
+clone this repository (e.g. ``git clone https://dev.midipix.org/build/midipix_build``)
+and run the following command line:
+
+```shell
+./build.sh -a nt64 -b release -D zipdist -P -v
+```
+
+By default, the build will take place within ``${HOME}/midipix/nt64/release``
+and package archive files and/or Git repositores will be downloaded into
+``${HOME}/midipix/dlcache``. Consult sections [4.2](#42-build-variables) and
+[4.5](#45-package-variables) for the list of available build/package variables
+and how to override them.
+Parallelisation is enabled by the above command line for both packages that can
+be built independently of each other and ``make(1)`` via ``-j``, limited to the
+amount of logical processors on the build host divided by two (2).

+with an absolute pathname without consideration for ``${PATH}``, as well
+as directly via ``ntctty.exe`` for a session by running ``ntctty.exe``
