This documentation explains how to build Keystone on Windows.
For *nix OS, see [COMPILE-NIX.md](COMPILE-NIX.md)


0. Dependency

CMake is required as dependency.
Download & install cmake from http://www.cmake.org

Microsoft Visual Studio is required for compiling. Download & install it from 
https://www.visualstudio.com


1. Open the Visual Studio Command Promplt, and from the root directory
  of Keystone source, do:

        $ mkdir build
        $ cd build

  To build DLL file, run:

        $ ..\nmake-dll.bat

  To build LIB file, run:

        $ ..\nmake-lib.bat

  Find the generated libraries in build\llvm\lib\keystone.{dll,lib}
  
  In the case you build LIB file, a tool named "kstool.exe" is also
  compiled & available under directory "build\kstool".
  (Find source of "kstool" in directory "kstool/kstool")


2. Test Keystone with "kstool" like below.

        $ kstool.exe x32 "add eax, ebx"

  Run "kstool.exe" without any option to find out how to use this handy tool.
