 This will build both JavaScriptCore and WebCore in Release mode.
 
-== Problems? ==
+== Common Build Errors ==
+
+=== Error spawning cmd.exe ===
 Sometimes, Visual Studio complains that it 'cannot spawn cmd.exe'. Should this happen, check if both your Cygwin\bin folder and c:\windows\sytem32 are both in the Visual Studio list of executable files (Tools -> Options -> VC++ Directories). 
 
+=== Bad line endings ===
 When you see errors in WebCore/css/makeprops or WebCore/css/maketokenizer, open those files in a suitable editor (SciTE works) and convert the line endings to LF only (Unix-style). Then restart the build.
+
+=== Visual C++ Express Edition ===
+ 1>c:\cygwin\home\admin\webkit\javascriptcore\wtf\assertions.cpp(45) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory
+
+If you see errors like this you probably need to install the [http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/ platform SDK].
