How to build on Windows

1. Create a build directory within the src folder.

2. From within the build directory, run ONE of the following, depending on whether you're using MSVC (Visual Studio) or Mingw:

   Configure using the Visual Studio generator

   cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 ..
   

   Or to build with static linking so the exe files don't require the dll, do this:

   cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF ..
   

   Or if using mingw instead of MSVC/Visual Studio, just do:

   cmake ..
   

3. Still within the build directory, build using this command:

   cmake --build . --config Release
   

4. Depending on if you used MSVC or Mingw, the EXE files and dll will end up in either the src/build/Debug folder, or just the src/build folder.
