My windows environment died on my recently, so I can't check the actual
output. IIRC just typing "cl" at the command line should give you
details about the compiler being used and whether it is for 32 or 64 bits.

Visual Studio has a number of "developer command prompts" available with
it. If you start one of those it should have all the right environment
variables set up for you. There should be different command prompts for
32 bit vs 64 bit.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/tools/developer-command-prompt-for-vs

Alternatively there is the vcvarsall.bat script which comes with VS that
enables you to setup all the environment variables - you can specify as
an argument to script whether you are targeting 32 bit or 64 bit.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43372235/vcvarsall-bat-for-visual-studio-2017

As well as the VS tools environment variables you will need to make sure
both Perl (e.g. Strawberry Perl) and NASM are installed and are on your
%PATH%.

You can do this using the MinGW compilers and the MSys2 shell. Note the
MinGW compilers target *native* windows. So although you use Msys2 to
build it, the resulting binaries are fully native.


There are details in the newly rewritten instructions for Windows:
