Hi, goal is:
- Write general Windows desktop and server apps using the Windows API
- Windows-only approach is OK, portability to other OS is not a priority
- Desktop apps include Windows UI (e.g. CreateWindow(...))
- Windows SDK only - No Visual Studio and no MSVC tools / libs that require Visual Studio license
What is a recommended approach to this? For example, can the LLVM 17.0.6 installation for Windows be used? Is ming4-64 (e.g. msys2) a better approach?
What are important considerations?
- Ramifications regarding standard C and C++ libraries?
- Issues regarding compiling with Windows headers, e.g. Windows.h?
- Issues linking with windows API libraries
Thank You. I'm somewhat familiar with clang and clang tools, but this is my first foray into using clang for Windows app development.
