3The build under Windows follows the same process as the traditional Linux build:\r
4\r
5 cd ../src\r
6 sh configure <options>\r
7 make\r
8\r
9There is a separate installer method using NSIS to generate the viking-1.X.Y.Z.exe installer file.\r
10\r
11To generate the installer (once the code has been compiled as above) run the installer.bat\r
12\r
13For further details (especially about how to set up the development dependencies) see:\r

16These instructions have now been turned turned into a series of scripts to produce the Viking installer:\r
17\r
181. prepare.bat\r
192a. configure_and_make.bat\r
202b. make.bat\r
213. installer.bat\r
22\r
23The scripts are aimed at a pristine Windows XP installation.\r
24Using *prepare.bat* will attempt to *download* and *install* various Open Source software to aid this process.\r
25An administrator level account is needed to run this which will *modify* your system.\r
26\r
27The other scripts simply make use of these (assumed) available system programs.\r
28\r
29This setup is for dedicated usage to build Viking, primarily under Wine with:\r
30\r
31 ./generate_install.sh\r
32\r
33Such that any Windows system (or of course a Virtual Machine) can be simply deleted (e.g. rm -rf /.wine) and recreated fully via the scripts.\r
34\r
35From Viking 1.4 onwards this is how the Windows viking-W.X.Y.Z.exe installer file is produced.\r
