These steps (1) create an out-of-source build directory, (2) configure the project using CMake, and (3) compile the project. If all goes well, you should see an executable `drawsvg` in the build directory. As you work, simply typing `make` in the build directory will recompile the project.

We have a beta build support for Windows systems. You need to install the latest version of [CMake](http://www.cmake.org/) and install [Visual Studio Community](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/). After installing these programs, you can run `runcmake_win.bat` by double-clicking on it. This should create a `build` directory with a Visual Studio solution file in it named `drawsvg.sln`. You can double-click this file to open the solution in Visual Studio.
