 ## Source language of ImGui is C++, since Nim is able to compile both to C
 ## and C++ you can select which compile target you wish to use. Note that to use
 ## the C backend you must supply a `cimgui <https://github.com/cimgui/cimgui>`_
-## dynamic library file.
+## dynamic library file or pass -d:cimguiStaticCgcc --gcc.linkerexe:g++ if using 
+## GCC as your c/c++ compiler.
 ##
 ## HACK: If you are targeting Windows, be sure to compile the cimgui dll with
 ## visual studio and not with mingw.
