Windows +To get a detailed guide on how to set up the environment to compile and run Xonotic, follow this link: [[Compiling in Windows]]. A short explanation follows. + By default, Windows has no real environment to handle the necessary scripting and compiling tools for building Xonotic... So, what we have to do is install something called "msysgit":https://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list to allow us to have a similar environment as on Linux. In this case, we want the download which is entirely self contained (including build-essentials and other corely required dependencies), which at the time of writing this is called "msysGit-fullinstall-1.8.0-preview20121022.exe." Simply follow the instructions on screen at this point. NOTE: Unless you know what you're doing, install with default settings/directories. Once you have completed the installation, you should be able to launch the msysgit shell by simply finding "msys.bat"- by default, it is located at: C:\msysgit\msysgit\msys.bat, and you can use this shell to continue on with the guide and clone and compile the Xonotic repositories. It is recommended that you make a shortcut to msysgit (simply right click the shell and hit "Create Shortcut") for easier access on your desktop or in your start menu.
