-This README describes what is needed for the latter of these two
-options. Please refer to README.Win32 if you'd like to run LyX
-as a native Windows application.
+Two building systems are supported to build lyx under cygwin: the traditional
+autotools (autoconf, automake, make etc), and a scons build system. The latter
+is easier to use and is the preferred method. If you prefer using autotools,
+you can find detailed instructions at lyx/wiki.
