You will need the following software installed:
- Microsoft Visual C++ 4.2. This can be found on many abandonware sites, but the installer can be a little iffy on modern versions of Windows. For convenience, I made a [portable version](https://github.com/itsmattkc/msvc420) that can be downloaded and used quickly instead.
- DirectX 5 SDK. Similarly, this can be found on many abandonware sites.
- [CMake](https://cmake.org/). A copy is often included with the "Desktop development with C++" workload in newer versions of Visual Studio, however it can also be installed as a standalone app.
#### Compiling From Command Line
#### Compiling
1. Open a Command Prompt (`cmd`).
1. From Visual C++ 4.2, run `BIN/VCVARS32.BAT x86` to populate the path and other environment variables for compiling with MSVC.

- **Visual C++ 4.2 has issues with paths containing spaces**. If you get configure or build errors, make sure neither CMake, the repository, nor Visual C++ 4.2 is in a path that contains spaces.
- Replace `<path-to-source>` with the source repository. Can be `..` if your build folder is inside the source repository.
- `RelWithDebInfo` is recommended because it will produce debug symbols useful for further decompilation work. However, you can change this to `Release` if you don't need them. `Debug` builds are not recommended because they are unlikely to be compatible with the retail `LEGO1.DLL`, which is currently the only way to really use this decomp.
- `NMake Makefiles` is most recommended because it will be immediately compatible with Visual C++ 4.2. For faster builds, you can use `Ninja` (if you have it installed), however due to limitations in Visual C++ 4.2, you can only build `Release` builds this way (debug symbols cannot be generated with `Ninja`).
