For some tasks it might be useful to use the Windows terminal. Thus you should add Qt/MinGW binaries to the system path to make them globally accessible.
Clone the repository (https://github.com/tux3/qTox.git) with your prefered Git client. [SmartGit](http://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/) is very nice for this task.
Afterwards download the source archive of OpenCV from [sourceforge.net](http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/) and extract its content to "C:\qTox\libs".
Create a new directory named "opencv-build" in "C:\qTox\libs". Now you should have the two directories "opencv-x.y.z" where x.y.z is the version of OpenCV and "opencv-build" inside your "C:\qTox\libs" directory.
Run CMake Gui and TODO CHECK FOR MSYS MAKE FILES.
### OpenAL Soft
Unlike OpenCV, prebuild packages of OpenAL Soft compiled with MinGW are provided at [http://kcat.strangesoft.net](http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html#download).
Download the most recent version and extract its content to "C:\qTox\libs". Copy the directory "AL" located at "C:\qTox\libs\openal-soft-x.y.z-bin" to "C:\qTox\libs\include" where x.y.z is the version of OpenAL.
Copy the file "soft_oal.dll" located at "C:\qTox\libs\openal-soft-x.y.z-bin\bin\Win32\soft_oal.dll" to "C:\qTox\libs\lib".
Open a new Terminal and change to a directory of your choice. To clone the repository use:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/tux3/qTox.git qTox
```
The following steps assumes that you cloned the repository at "/home/user/qTox". If you decided to choose another location, replace corresponding parts.
Now you can either follow the instructions at https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore/blob/master/INSTALL.md#unix or use the "bootstrap.sh" script located at "/home/user/qTox".
