# Building on Windows
## VM
Let's assume we're starting out with no hardware:
Get virtual box for your platform here:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
Get a Windows 10 evaluation copy from here:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines
## Prereqs
The evaluation copy comes with a copy of Visual Studio.
### Strawberry Perl
Install Strawberry Perl from:
https://strawberryperl.com/
### Visual Studio
Run the VS installer; modify the existing install, and select "Desktop
Development with C++"; This will make the command line tools available
in the "Developer Command Prompt for VS 20XX"
### Git
Install git from:
https://git-scm.com/download/win
## Rakudo
Clone rakudo; in the VS command prompt:
C:\Users\user git clone https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo.git
Configure rakudo:
C:\Users\user cd rakudo
C:\Users\user perl Configure.pl --backends=moar --gen-moar
The configure system should correctly detect your Visual Studio tools.
This will git clone nqp & MoarVM, then build MoarVM, nqp.
To build rakudo itself (and install it into a local ./install directory):
You might want to "copy config.status config.bat" to save this config, so
you can later run "config" to perform the config step.
You may wish to use "--gen-moar=master" or "--gen-nqp=master" to get the
latest version of those repositories.
Build rakudo (for Strawberry/gcc) :
C:\Users\user gmake install
Build rakudo (for ActiveState/VS) :
C:\Users\user nmake install
## Test
Now you can run (using the appropriate make command) the
builtin rakudo tests:
C:\Users\user nmake test
Or the spectest suite (note that this will use git to download the
test suite)
C:\Users\user nmake spectest
