Build Instructions

Requirements:

• Visual Studio (preferably 2019 or 2017)

Steps

1. Clone Builder repo
2. Make sure that path in build.bat inside Builder repo points to existing vcvarsall.bat (depends on your VS installation version)
3. Run build.bat
4. Optionally run setup.bat to setup PATH - you'll be able to run builder just by using build command
5. Clone cpplib repo
6. Clone this repo
7. Run build run physarum.build - if you didn't setup PATH in step 4, you'll have to use YOUR_BUILDER_REPO_PATH/bin/build.exe instead

If there are any problems you encounter while building the project, let me know.
