Add build instructions for Windows #20

Open DiscoStarslayer opened 5 years ago

DiscoStarslayer commented 5 years ago

Currently we have build instructions for macOS / Linux users but point Windows users to the AppVeyor builds.

This is great for the more common user, but if one is interested in developing/improving extract-iso it can be helpful to have build instructions.

On Windows you'll need CMake and either Visual Studio or MSYS2 MinGW.

cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" will generate a Project.sln in the folder. You can use cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" to make project that builds a 64-bit executable. If you're using MSYS2 MinGW, simply run cmake ., which will generate Makefiles for the project. Use make to build it.

To my knowledge, MinGW / MSYS makefiles need another makefile generator? Also has some extra steps to install these tools (not as easy as on Linux or macOS).

My MSYS2 MinGW environment is already set up to work with XQEMU and other projects, so I likely have installed any necessary prerequisites. As for the extra steps, I assume that users will know how to set their environment up if they don't already have one. In any case, we may refer them to the respective documentation.
