How can I build jq for Windows?

[tiendq]

Is there any one can give me a brief instruction to build jq for Windows?

Thanks,
Tien,

There are now windows binaries on the website.

They're built using the mingw packages in debian (a cross-compiler to build windows executables on linux). As far as I know, building with VS is currently impossible as jq uses some C99 features that VS doesn't support.

Thanks, but both http://stedolan.github.com/jq/download/win64/jq is not found. (same error with win32 link).

Try jamming F5 a few times. The download has since been moved to http://stedolan.github.com/jq/download/win64/jq.exe, but you may be looking at a version of the page from before I renamed it.
