In the development branch, you can develop with CMake and Visual Studio 2022.

Install tools

Visual Studio 2022 v17.11.5 or above versions.

Community or other commercial versions.
(Optional) Install clang-cl tools. See this document for details.

CMake 3.30.5 or above versions.
MSYS2 (msys2-x86_64-20240727.exe or newer)

Install packages for MSYS2.

Open msys2_shell.cmd in C:\msys64 (your MSYS2 installation), and install these packages by the pacman.

pacman -S make gettext base-devel
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-gcc
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-gdb

Start VS and open the keeperfx project folder.

Visual Studio 2022 is supposed to configure the CMake immediately. Please wait for it to finish.
If you are new to CMake and VS 2022, I suggest that you read this document.
Now, only x86-MinGW32-Debug or x86-MinGW32-Release can build a playable game.
You can choose the standard or **heavylog **target.
