You'll have WSL/WSL2 to work with, too. If not make, then CMake is now supported in Visual Studio (2017/2019) and works well.

Interesting, hadn't run into this before. What's the advantage over MSYS2?




Eli is one the few free software veterans who exclusively works on Windows. His ports are excellent and native Windows binaries wherever possible ("native" meaning: no MSYS at all). It's not that "native" is always better, but it is good to have the choice. Especially w.r.t. GNU Make, I found the MSYS version to be very hard to reason with, since the additional MSYS path conversion makes things even more complicated than it already is...
