 ### .NET dll
 
-You must install Mono from source, or use a release of Mono after November 18 2011.
+You must install Mono SDK 2.10.8 or newer.
 
 You must also download NuGet.exe from [CodePlex](http://nuget.codeplex.com/releases) and place it in `/usr/local/nuget/NuGet.exe`. When it's installed, update it and register your NuGet API Key:
 
     # In case we need to update

 ### MinGW Rubies (for Windows gems)
 
 In order to build Windows binaries (so we can release Windows gems from OS X/Linux) we first need to install MinGW. 
-On OS X, download prebuilt binaries (version 4.3.0) from http://crossgcc.rts-software.org/doku.php. 
-Unpack it under /usr/local and add it to your PATH, typically in your `~/.bashrc`:
+Follow the MinGW installation instructions from the [rake-compiler](https://github.com/luislavena/rake-compiler) project.
+IMPORTANT! You may have to get an older version - gcc 4.7.0 is experimental. See [this issue](https://github.com/luislavena/rake-compiler/issues/50)
 
-    export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/i386-mingw32-4.3.0/bin
+Now, make sure you have openssl installed:
+
+    brew install openssl
+
+Next, we're going to install Ruby 1.8.7 and Ruby 1.9.3 for MinGW. We need both versions so we can build Windows binaries for both.
+OS X Lion (or later) doesn't ship with an LLVM free gcc, which you will need in order to install ruby 1.8.7. We can install it with:
+
+    brew install https://raw.github.com/adamv/homebrew-alt/master/duplicates/apple-gcc42.rb
+    export CC=gcc-4.2

 Now we need to set up [rake-compiler](http://github.com/luislavena/rake-compiler/)
-We'll start by installing some rubies.
+First, set the `CC` variable to your mingw32-gcc, for example:
 
-Make sure you have openssl installed first.
+    export CC=/usr/local/mingw/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-gcc
