 ### Windows
 
-- Clone the repo
-- Install [MinGW](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-mingw). You can for example follow this instructions:
-  - Important here: Choose MinGW64 
-- Install [CMake](https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.24.2/cmake-3.24.2-windows-x86_64.zip)
-- Download [SDL2](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/releases/download/release-2.24.0/SDL2-devel-2.24.0-mingw.zip) and extract it to folder ext/SDL2
-- Download [SDL2_mixer](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_mixer/releases/download/release-2.6.2/SDL2_mixer-devel-2.6.2-mingw.) and extract it to folder ext/SDL2
-- Download [SDL2_image](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_mixer/releases/download/release-2.6.2/SDL2_mixer-devel-2.6.) and extract it to folder ext/SDL2
-- From root folder execute:
+- Clone the repository
+- Download [SDL2](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/releases/tag/release-2.24.0) and extract it to folder ext/SDL2

+
+To build with your favorite IDE, just import the cmakelists.txt file as a project and build from there. Otherwise, you can use [MinGW-w64](https://www.mingw-w64.org/downloads/) to build via CLI:
+
+- Install MinGW-w64 (either manually, or via [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/))
+- Install [CMake](https://cmake.org/download/#latest)
+
+- From the project's root folder execute, in order:
+
   ```
   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake .. -G "MingGW Makefiles"
   mingw32-make
   ```
 
+To run the engine, you'll also need the necessary dynamic libraries in the same folder as the executable, unless the project is set to build with static linkage.
+
+- Navigate to the SDL2, SDL2_mixer and SDL2_image extracted files, and locate the .dll files inside the `bin` folder of the correct architecture (e.g. `SDL2_image-2.6.2/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/`)
+
+- Copy the .dll files from each of the above to the `build` folder
