You will need the following:
* Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1, with the C++ language
* Microsoft Visual Studio 2015, with the C++ language
* Git
* CMake
* Perl with XML::LibXML and XML::LibXSLT
* It is recommended to install StrawberryPerl, which includes both.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DFHack has to be compiled with the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 toolchain; later
versions won't work against Dwarf Fortress due to ABI and STL incompatibilities.
At present, the only way to obtain the MSVC C++ 2010 toolchain is to install a
full copy of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1. The free Express version is sufficient.
You can grab it from `Microsoft's site <http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/E/5/1E5F1C0A-0D5B-426A-A603-1798B951DDAE/VS2010Express1.iso>`_.
You should also install the Visual Studio 2010 SP1 update.
* Python (for documentation; optional, except for release builds)
You can confirm whether you have SP1 by opening the Visual Studio 2010 IDE
and selecting About from the Help menu. If you have SP1 it will have *SP1Rel*
at the end of the version number, for example: *Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel*
Use of pre-SP1 releases has been reported to cause issues and is therefore not
supported by DFHack. Please ensure you are using SP1 before raising any Issues.
If your Windows Update is configured to receive updates for all Microsoft
Products, not just Windows, you will receive the SP1 update automatically
through Windows Update (you will probably need to trigger a manual check.)
Microsoft Visual Studio 2015
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DFHack has to be compiled with the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 toolchain; other
versions won't work against Dwarf Fortress due to ABI and STL incompatibilities.
If not, you can download it directly `from this Microsoft Download link <https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=23691>`_.
At present, the only way to obtain the MSVC C++ 2015 toolchain is to install a

Building/installing from the Visual Studio IDE:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After running the CMake generate script you will have a new folder called VC2010.
Open the file ``dfhack.sln`` inside that folder. If you have multiple versions of
Visual Studio installed, make sure you open with Visual Studio 2010.
After running the CMake generate script you will have a new folder called VC2015
or VC2015_32, depending on the architecture you specified. Open the file
``dfhack.sln`` inside that folder. If you have multiple versions of Visual
Studio installed, make sure you open with Visual Studio 2015.
The first thing you must then do is change the build type. It defaults to Debug,
but this cannot be used on Windows. Debug is not binary-compatible with DF.
