How to compile

On a Windows machine, you'll first need Visual Studio (the free version is fine). Once that's complete:

  1. Open a command prompt
  2. Find vcvarsall.bat in your VS installation path, then call it with x64 as it's argument. It will look something like: call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x64
  3. Run cl main.c -nologo -Zi -link user32.lib

That should compile and generate main.exe.
