  1. '''Python SDK''': I personally use [ftp://ftp.activestate.com/ActivePython/windows/2.4/ ActivePython-2.4.3-12] distribution from [http://www.activestate.com ActiveState], since it has a matching debug package.
+ 1. '''Visual Studio''': for building the C extension.
  1. '''Optional: debug package''': the debug package is useful if you want to debug the C extension. You can download it from ftp://ftp.activestate.com/ActivePython/etc/
 
 ==== Building the Module with Visual Studio ====
-Using Microsoft Visual Studio projects:
+
+'''Step 1: Building the C Extension''':
  1. Open '''pjsip-apps.dsw''' from {{{pjsip-apps\build}}} directory.
  1. Select '''python_pjsua''' project as the active project.
  1. Build the project
  1. The {{{_pjsua.pyd}}} Python module will be placed in {{{pjsip-apps\lib}}} directory.
- 1. Copy {{{_pjsua.pyd}}} and {{{pjsua.py}}} from {{{pjsip-apps\src\python}}} directory to Python's site_packages directory (see Python manual for this), or alternatively add the directories where these files reside to your {{{PYTHONPATH}}} environment variable.
 
+'''Step 2: Installing the Modules''':
+ 1. Open ''Command Prompt''
+ 1. Go to '''{{{pjsip-apps\src\python}}}''' directory
+ 1. Run '''{{{python setup-vc.py install}}}''' (note that the installation script is {{{setup-vc.py}}} and not {{{setup.py}}}).
+
+ Sample session:
+
+ {{{
+ C:> cd your-pjsip-root-directory
+ C:> cd pjsip-apps\src\python
+ C:> python setup-vc.py install
+ }}}
+
+=== Building the Module with MinGW ===
+
+Adamczak Krzysztof suggested this on PJSIP mailing list to build the extensions with MinGW:
+
+ {{{
+  python setup.py build_ext --compiler=mingw32 install
+ }}}
+
+
+=== Common Problems ===
+
+==== Cannot open include file: 'Python.h ====
+
+You're missing Python SDK.
