| − | ===Compiler===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | FreeOrion can be compiled on Windows with Visual Studio 2013. Premade Visual Studio project files are available in the source code repository, and the SDK provides precompiled dependencies for the compiler. Project files may also be generated using CMake.

| − | ====Getting Visual Studio====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Visual Studio Community and Express can be [https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs#DownloadFamilies_2 downloaded from Microsoft here]. If you're not sure which edition to pick, take the latest one for Windows Desktop. You will need a Microsoft account to proceed, if you don't have one, you will have to register one.

| − | ===Version Control System===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The FreeOrion project uses [[wikipedia:Git_(software)|Git]] for version control. To be able to use the SDK, you need to install the git command line client (the most recent release for Windows can be downloaded [http://git-scm.com/download/win here]). '''Important:''' When installing the git command line client, be sure to select the option that will include the git executable in your command path, otherwise the batch script which sets up the SDK will fail.
