NGL will work with any C++ 14 compiler but I have been using MSVC 2019 for the current windows 10 build.
As a minimum choose Desktop C++ development as show in the image here
Install vcpkg
vcpkg is a tool which allows you to install libraries under windows. I use this to help install the required libraries for NGL. Follow the install instructions here
https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg
. It is important to install this in the root of your home directory to ensure this is correct run the cmd.exe terminal and type
cd %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
before running the commands to install vcpkg. NGL will use
%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
in all the build scripts to ensure things are in the correct locations.
Once vcpkg is installed the following libraries need to be added.
cd vcpkg
.\vcpkg install gtest:x64-windows
.\vcpkg install glm
.\vcpkg install glfw3:x64-windows
