Build Steps
I'm working on Windows 10 I hope the steps apply to other versions of Windows.
-
Download and Install Visual Studio Community. Make sure to select
Comon Tools For Visual C++from the feature list so the C compiler gets installed. -
Make sure to run
vcvarsall.bat x64so the compilercland the debuggerdevenvare available on the Windows terminal. On my machinevcvarsall.batlives inC:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat. You will have to run the script each time you start a console. To automate the process you can create astartup.batscript that gets automatically run each time a console starts. -
Run the
build.batscript included in the repo to build your program -
If compilation goes right you will get the executable in the build directory. You can also type
runas a shortcut. -
You can run the program in the debugger by running
devenv build/main.exe
