For compiling under Windows, the following is required:
- `Visual Studio Community <https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/community/>`_,
version 2019 or later. Visual Studio 2022 is recommended.
**Make sure to enable C++ in the list of workflows to install.**
If you've already installed Visual Studio without C++ support, run the installer
again; it should present you a **Modify** button.
Supports ``x86_64``, ``x86_32``, and ``arm64``.
- `MinGW-w64 <https://mingw-w64.org/>`_ with GCC can be used as an alternative to
Visual Studio. Be sure to install/configure it to use the ``posix`` thread model.
**Important:** When using MinGW to compile the ``master`` branch, you need GCC 9 or later.
Supports ``x86_64`` and ``x86_32`` only.
- `MinGW-LLVM <https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw/releases>`_ with clang can be used as
an alternative to Visual Studio and MinGW-w64.
Supports ``x86_64``, ``x86_32``, and ``arm64``.
- `Python 3.6+ <https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/>`_.
**Make sure to enable the option to add Python to the ``PATH`` in the installer.**
- A C++ compiler. Use one of the following:
- `Visual Studio Community <https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/community/>`_,
version 2019 or later. Visual Studio 2022 is recommended.

- `SCons 3.1.2+ <https://scons.org/pages/download.html>`_ build system. Using the
latest release is recommended, especially for proper support of recent Visual
Studio releases.
