 # GNUPLOT Makefile for MinGW/MSYS or MinGW-w64/MSYS2 on Windows 
 #
 # Note: Currently MinGW cannot be used to compile gnuplot unless
 #       libraries / headers are updated.
+# Note that Mingw-w64 needs to be configured with --enable-secure-api, and
+#       MINGW_HAS_SECURE_API must be defined in _mingw.h.

 # See http://www.mingw.org or http://msys2.github.io/ for more details.
