 Here are step by step instructions for building rrdlib.lib and rrdtool.exe
 version 1.3.5 and newer with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (9.0.x).
 
-(1) Download and extract libraries rrdtool depends on:
+(1) Create a folder named "contrib" in the directory where this text file is located.
 
-    - cairo:    http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/cairo_1.8.0-1_win32.zip
-      and       http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/cairo-dev_1.8.0-1_win32.zip
+(2) Download the following libraries that rrdtool depends on into this folder:
 
-    - glib:     http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/glib/2.18/glib_2.18.3-1_win32.zip
-      and       http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/glib/2.18/glib-dev_2.18.3-1_win32.zip
+    - cairo:    http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/cairo_1.8.10-3_win32.zip 
+      and       http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/cairo-dev_1.8.10-3_win32.zip
 
-    - libpng:   http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/libpng_1.2.32-1_win32.zip
-      and       http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/libpng-dev_1.2.32-1_win32.zip
+    - glib:     http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/glib/2.24/glib_2.24.1-1_win32.zip
+      and       http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/glib/2.24/glib-dev_2.24.1-1_win32.zip
 
-    - libxml2:  http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gnuwin32/libxml2-2.4.12-bin.zip?modtime=1009062000&big_mirror=1
-      and       http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gnuwin32/libxml2-2.4.12-1-lib.zip?modtime=1024783200&big_mirror=1

+      and       http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/libpng-dev_1.4.0-1_win32.zip
 
-    - pango:    http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/pango/1.22/pango_1.22.2-1_win32.zip
-      and       http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/pango/1.22/pango-dev_1.22.2-1_win32.zip
+    - libxml2:  http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/libxml2_2.7.7-1_win32.zip
+      and       http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/libxml2-dev_2.7.7-1_win32.zip
 
-    - zlib: http://www.zlib.net/zlib123-dll.zip
+    - pango:    http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/pango/1.28/pango_1.28.0-1_win32.zip
+      and       http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/pango/1.28/pango-dev_1.28.0-1_win32.zip
 
-(2) Create a folder named "contrib" next to your rrdtool-folder.
+    - zlib:     http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/zlib_1.2.4-2_win32.zip
+      and       http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/zlib-dev_1.2.4-2_win32.zip
+
+    - fontconfig:  http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/fontconfig_2.8.0-2_win32.zip
+
+    - freetype: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/freetype_2.3.12-1_win32.zip
+
+    - expat:    http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/expat_2.0.1-1_win32.zip
 
-(3) Copy the following folders and files from the downloaded archieves into
-    the contrib-folder, you just created:
-
-    a) The folder "bin" from cairo_1.8.0-1_win32 and the folders "lib" and
-       "include" from cairo-dev_1.8.0-1_win32 into contrib/cairo.
-
-    b) The folder "bin" from glib_2.18.3-1_win32 and the folders "lib" and
-       "include" from glib-dev_2.18.3-1_win32 into contrib/glib
-
-    c) The folder "bin" from libpng_1.2.32-1_win32 and the folders "lib" and
-       "include" from libpng-dev_1.2.32-1_win32 into contrib/libpng
-
-    d) The file "libxml2.dll" from libxml2-2.4.12-bin/bin and the file
-       "libxml2.lib" from libxml2-2.4.12-1-lib\lib into contrib/libxml2/lib and
-       the folder "include" from from libxml2-2.4.12-1-lib into contrib/libxml2
-
-    e) The folder "bin" from pango_1.22.2-1_win32 and the folders "lib" and
-       "include" from pango-dev_1.22.2-1_win32 into contrib/pango
-
-    f) The folders "lib" and "include" and the file "zlib1.dll" into
-       contrib/zlib
+(3) Extract all of the .zip files into the contrib folder. Do not extract each library into it's own
+    directory. We want all of the files merged into a structure consisting of "bin, include, lib..."
+    etc folders.
 
 (4) Open the Visual Studio 2008 Solution "rrd.sln" in the win32 folder of
     your rrdtool-folder and build either the project rrdlib (for the
