WIP
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a compatibility layer for running Linux binary executables (in ELF format) natively on Windows 10. As such this guide will only work on Windows 10.
Start by installing and enabling WSL as per the MSDN installation guide.
Now open Bash on Ubuntu on Windows.
Get some dependencies
sudo apt install build-essential git cmake libmysqlclient-dev
Clone the repository.
git clone https://github.com/evemuproject/evemu_server
cd evemu_server
Make a build directory
mkdir build
cd build
Generate Makefile
cmake ..
Call make
make
Everything should compile just fine.
