We are doing the development work for Checked C on Windows. We have a few recommendations for developing
clang on Windows using Visual Studio.

You will need to install the following before building:

- Visual Studio 2013 or later, cmake, Python (version 2.7), and versions of UNIX command line tools. We
recommend using Visual Studio 2015.
- For UNIX command-line tools, we recommend installing them via Cygwin because these are well-maintained.
Go to [http://www.cygwin.com](http://www.cygwin.com) and download the installer(put it in a known place).

Then run it and use the GUI to install the coreutils and diffutils packages. Add the bin subdirectory to your system path.

If you plan to use Visual Studio to build projects, lower the default number of projects that will be built in parallel.
