-Instructions for building Git for Windows using VS2015.
-================================================================
-
-Installing third-party dependencies:
-====================================
-
-[1] Install nuget.exe somewhere on your system and add it to your PATH.
- https://docs.nuget.org/consume/command-line-reference
- https://dist.nuget.org/index.html
-
-[2] Download required nuget packages for third-party libraries.
- Using a terminal window, type:
-
- make -C compat/vcbuild
-
- This will download the packages, unpack them into GEN.PKGS,
- and populate the {include, lib, bin} directories in GEN.DEPS.
-
-
-Building Git for Windows using VS2015:
-======================================
-
-[3] Build 64-bit version of Git for Windows.
- Using a terminal window:
-
- make MSVC=1 DEBUG=1
-
-
-[4] Add compat/vcbuild/GEN.DEPS/bin to your PATH.
-
-[5] You should then be able to run the test suite and any interactive
- commands.
-
-[6] To debug/profile in VS, open the git.exe in VS and run/debug
- it. (Be sure to add GEN.DEPS/bin to the PATH in the debug
- dialog.)
-
-
-TODO List:
-==========
-
-[A] config.mak.uname currently contains hard-coded paths
- to the various MSVC and SDK libraries for the 64-bit
- version of the compilers and libaries.
-
- See: SANE_TOOL_PATH, MSVC_DEPS, MSVC_SDK*, MSVC_VCDIR.
-
- Long term, we need to figure out how to properly import
- values for %VCINSTALLDIR%, %LIB%, %LIBPATH%, and the
- other values normally set by "vsvars32.bat" when a
- developer command prompt is started. This would also
- allow us to switch between 32- and 64-bit tool chains.
-
-[B] We need to build SLN or VCPROJ files.
