CMake Bootstrap for Windows

This repository provides a bootstrap script for CMake on Windows.

The bootstrap script is based on the original CMake bootstrap script and written in PowerShell.
The only dependency of the Windows bootstrap is Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC).

How to use

1. You first need the CMake source. You can download a source release or clone the git repository.
2. When you have the CMake source, apply the cmake.patch file. This ensures the source code is compatible with our bootstrap script.
3. Initialize the MSVC environment, either by using the Developer Command Prompt or by running vcvarsall.bat in your current terminal.
4. Run the bootstrap.ps1 script. The bootstrap process will automatically start and give further instructions.
