-# winlibs MinGW-w64
+# MinGW-w64 - winlibs standalone build
 The winlibs standalone build of GCC compiler and MinGW-w64.
 GCC is a free and open source C/C++ compiler.
 MinGW-w64 is a free and open source for targetting Windows 32-bit and 64-bit platforms with C/C++ compilers.
 The combination of both gives you a free C/C++ compiler for Windows.
+
+Additional tools are added to this build including:
+- GDB - the GNU Project debugger
+- GNU Binutils
+- GNU Make
+
+The i686 download is the 32-bit version, which runs natively on and compiles for Windows 32-bit (of course it also runs on 64-bit).
+
+The x86_64 download is the 64-bit version, which runs natively on and compiles for Windows 64-bit.
+
+The ultimate goal of winlibs is to also provide libraries built with this compiler, in order to provide a comprehensive C/C++ development environment, with the following goals in mind:
+- provide both static and shared libraries where possible
+- focus on production quality (no debug versions of libraries and debugging information stripped from binaries)
+- useability from the MSYS 2 shell aswell as from IDEs like Code::Blocks
