= Building on Windows =
-== Things to download ==
+== Prerequisites ==
+These build instructions require at least Windows 7.
First of all, figure out whether your system is a 32-bit or a 64-bit system. You can use the guide at [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/15056/windows-32-64-bit-faq]. On a 64-bit system both 32-bit and 64-bit builds can be made, although 64-bit is preferred. Making a 64-bit build on a 32-bit system might be possible, but hasn't been tested.
== Required Tools ==
Choose either 32-bit or 64-bit depending on your system and which build you want to make.

# Using command-line Mercurial
- * If you have Windows 7 or later, skip the next 3 steps, and instead, use Shift + Right-click in the folder where you want to download the source.
- * Start _Run..._ ( Press Windows key + R, or click on the Start menu, then on "Run ..." )
- * Enter: `cmd.exe`

+ * Shift + Right-click in the folder where you want to download the source and select "Open Command Prompt Window Here" or "Open PowerShell window here".
* Type and execute (The initial clone of the repository will take a while): `hg clone https://hg.hedgewars.org/hedgewars/ trunk`
# Navigate to the Vcpkg directory in the command line and build the necessary libraries (this will also take a while, especially for Qt). The command is:
* For 32-bit builds: `.\vcpkg.exe install sdl2 sdl2-image sdl2-ttf sdl2-mixer sdl2-mixer[libvorbis] sdl2-net physfs openssl qt5-base qt5-tools ffmpeg`
* For 64-bit builds: `.\vcpkg.exe install sdl2:x64-windows sdl2-image:x64-windows sdl2-ttf:x64-windows sdl2-mixer:x64-windows sdl2-mixer[libvorbis]:x64-windows sdl2-net:x64-windows physfs:x64-windows openssl:x64-windows qt5-base:x64-windows qt5-tools:x64-windows ffmpeg:x64-windows`
# Build Hedgewars
- * Run the Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019 (or other installed version) from the Start menu (if you want Hedgewars to install to the default location in `C:\Program Files (x86)`, run it as administrator).
- * For 64-bit builds, in the dev command prompt run the following command (not necessary for 32-bit builds): `VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat amd64`
+ * From the Start menu run either "x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019" or "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019" (if you want Hedgewars to install to the default location in `C:\Program Files`, run it as administrator).
* Navigate to `<hedgewars_root>\tools` where `<hedgewars_root>` is the directory where you cloned the repository source to.
* Run `build_vcpkg.bat` script
