Prerequisites

[Visual Studio developer setup](wiki/Developer Getting Started: Visual Studio)
[MinGW developer setup](wiki/Developer Getting Started: MinGW)
NSIS

Build cdogs-sdl executable

Follow the [MinGW developer setup](wiki/Developer Getting Started: MinGW) instructions to build cdogs-sdl.exe.

Package installer

Follow the [Run CMake section of the Visual Studio developer setup](wiki/Developer Getting Started: Visual Studio#run-cmake) to create Visual Studio projects. Beware the difference in CMake output directories.
Open the Visual Studio solution and build the PACKAGE project, using the Release configuration.
Copy cdogs-sdl.exe built using MinGW to /Release, overwriting the binaries there built by Visual Studio.
In Visual Studio, build the PACKAGE project again. This time the package will be built using the MinGW-compiled binaries. The installer will be in /C-Dogs SDL-VERSION-win32.exe. Make sure to test it in Windows XP and Windows Vista/7/8.
