Not the parent commenter. It's really not that hard.
MSVC: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/?q=build+tools#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2026 https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/?q=build+tools#...
Clang targeting MSVC ABI: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/download/llvmorg-22.1.4/LLVM-22.1.4-win64.exe https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/download/llvmo...
Clang targeting MinGW ABI: https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw/releases/tag/20260421 https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw/releases/tag/20260421
GCC targeting MinGW ABI, running in MSYS2: https://github.com/msys2/msys2-installer/releases/download/2026-03-22/msys2-x86_64-20260322.exe https://github.com/msys2/msys2-installer/releases/download/2...
Or, if you want a command-line, winget makes it easier still:
winget install -e --id Microsoft.VisualStudio.BuildTools LLVM.LLVM MartinStorsjo.LLVM-MinGW.UCRT BrechtSanders.WinLibs.MCF.UCRT
One-liner, roughly on par with `pacman -S base-devel clang llvm`. To install libraries, I use `vcpkg add port sdl2` in my project, a la cargo. No more fudging with system-level dependencies.
