- fnord123 10y agoYou type in 'sudo apt-get install build-essentials' and you have it. I don't what the process on Windows these days but you used to have to find visual studio install media, install it, and reboot two or three times.
- dagw 10y agoI don't what the process on Windows these days 1) Go to visualstudio.com 2) click Downloads if you want the full IDE: 3) choose between downloading free version of a trial of the professional version if you just want the command line tools 3) scroll down until you find C++ Build Tools and download that 4) double click the file you just downloaded. 5) Done
- fnord123 10y agoNo more reboots?
- dagw 10y agoNot that I can recall, at least not on Windows 10.
- dragonwriter 10y agoYeah, visual studio now installs decently. Uninstall or upgrade is still a nightmare, but installing it on a PC which has never had it isn't bad.
- cgravill 10y agoIt'd be great to have it built-in but you can get https://chocolatey.org https://chocolatey.org and MinGW pretty easily: iwr https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1 -UseBasicParsing | iex restart prompt, then: choco install mingw (no machine reboots, disclaimer: I work at MSR, nothing related to this)
