You will need an up to date edition of Visual Studio, Git-Bash for windows, and Pandoc
In a Git bash command prompt, cd to the directory where you intend to
install the source code.
git clone --recursive git@cpal.pw:~/wallet
Then launch the visual studio X64 native tools command prompt. cd to the
wallet directory that was just created
winConfigure
If all goes well, winConfigure.bat will call "%ProgramFiles%"\Git\git-bash winConfigure.sh
to launch winConfigure.sh in the bash command prompt,
winConfigure.sh will configure the libraries to be built, then
winConfigure.bat will call msbuild, which is Microsoft’s equivalent to
make on steroids, msbuild will then build the libraries, and finally build
and launch the wallet with the unit test flag set to perform and display the
unit test. To rebuild the wallet after you have changed something, use
Visual Studio.
To rebuild the html files after changing the markdown files, call the bash
script mkdocs.sh, which calls Pandoc.
If something goes wrong, and it is not obvious what went wrong, go back
to the git-bash command prompt and try ./winConfigure.sh
Pandoc needs to be available from the git-bash command prompt to build
html documentation from the markdown documentation. It gets called
from mkdocs.sh. It normally is available if you have installed Pandoc.
Git-bash needs to be available from native tools command prompt. If installed, it normally is as
"%ProgramFiles%"\Git\git-bash
