-Python wrapper for the ScienceMode 4 protocol
+* Python wrapper for the ScienceMode 4 protocol
 
 ## Introduction 
-
-sciencemode_cffi is a python wrapper for the sciencemode library.
-
-This python library was tested on Windows 64bit together with Anaconda Python.
-
-This library is using [cffi](https://cffi.readthedocs.io/).

+* This library is using [cffi](https://cffi.readthedocs.io/).
 
 ## Preparation
-Unzip the correct version of the smpt library and copy the lib  into the lib directory.
-On Windows, build artifacts from [ScienceMode4_c_library](https://github.com/ScienceMode/ScienceMode4_c_library) can be used.
-
-## How to build for Windows
-Mingw 5.3 from Qt needs to be installed in `C:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32`. The [Visual studio compiler](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/) needs also be installed.
-
-The QT-Binaries can be installed using the [QT Online Installer](https://www.qt.io/download-open-source).
+* Unzip the correct version of the smpt library and copy the lib  into the lib directory.
+* On Windows, build artifacts from [ScienceMode4_c_library](https://github.com/ScienceMode/ScienceMode4_c_library) can be used.
 
-The following should be selected for building the python wheels:

+## Copy Library to lib
+* Download [smpt_windows_static_x86.zip](https://github.com/ScienceMode/ScienceMode4_c_library/releases/download/v4.0.0/smpt_windows_static_x86.zip) from [ScienceMode4_c_library](https://github.com/ScienceMode/ScienceMode4_c_library)
+* copy libsmpt.lib from the smpt_windows_static_x86.zip  to /lib (path inside the zip file is .\ScienceMode_Library\release\smpt\windows_x86\static)
 
+## How to build for Windows
+* Install MinGW from [MinGW releases](https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds-binaries/releases)
+  * Adjust path where MinGW is installed in ScienceMode/_cffi.py in line 202: mingw_path = os.getenv('MINGW_PATH', default='...')
+* Install [Visual studio compiler](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/)
 
+## Install setuptools
+```
+pip install setuptools
+```
 
 ## Install the wheel pacakge
 ```
 pip install wheel
 ```
-## Copy Library to lib
-* Download [smpt_windows_static_x86.zip](https://github.com/ScienceMode/ScienceMode4_c_library/releases/download/v4.0.0/smpt_windows_static_x86.zip) from [ScienceMode4_c_library](https://github.com/ScienceMode/ScienceMode4_c_library)
-* copy libsmpt.lib from the smpt_windows_static_x86.zip  to /lib (path inside the zip file is .\ScienceMode_Library\release\smpt\windows_x86\static)
 
 ## Building the wheel
 Create a wheel with
 ```
 python setup.py bdist_wheel --universal
 ```
+
 ## Installing the wheel
 You may correct the filename, check that the python version is matching the version in the filename.
 E.g. for python 3.9, the following version is valid:
