Windows installation

[dylantf]

Can you provide a guide for how to install this plugin on windows?

I've installed MinGW and VS (as the error message says to do) on Windows 10, and it still cannot find nmake. The vcvarsall.bat` command as suggested by the error message cannot be found from the VS developer command prompt.

Ok I found the issue, just for everyone else's benefit - VS2015 no longer includes C++ build tools by default, you have to do a "custom" install when installing VS, and select the tools, or go to "Create New Project" and select "C++" to prompt to install the required dependencies.
See: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/60k1461a.aspx

Then you can cd into the Visual Studio {version}\VC directory and run vcvarsall amd64, and the compile should work after that.

Good to hear that you solved the problem, and thanks for letting me know how you solved it.
I'll add that to the documentation.

I have been thinking for some time of making a separate pbkdf2 library, partly for people who are having trouble with the C code compilation, but also so as to offer more options for the pbkdf2 algorithm.

Watch this repo for more details. There will be something usable within a few days.
