+
+midipix[\[3](#r3)] 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. Building 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](#r1)] 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 [2.1](#2-1-build-time-dependencies),
+clone this repository, and run the following command line:
+
+```shell
+./build.sh -a nt64 -b release -D minipix,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 [\[3.1](#3-1-fault-tolerant--highly-optimised-3d-laser-show-equipped-usage-screen)][\[5](#5-build-variables)][\[5.1](#5-1-package-variables)]
