+MinGW
+-----
+
+If you want to build the library in MinGW environment with SSH support enabled,
+you may need to pass `-DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH="${MINGW_PREFIX}/${MINGW_CHOST}/lib/"` flag
+to CMake when configuring. This is because CMake cannot find the Win32 libraries in
+MinGW folders by default and you might see an error message stating that CMake
+could not resolve `ws2_32` library during configuration.
+
+Another option would be to install `msys2-w32api-runtime` package before configuring.
+This package installs the Win32 libraries into `/usr/lib` folder which is by default
+recognized as the library path by CMake. Please note though that this package is meant
+for MSYS subsystem which is different from MinGW.
