Not the parent commenter. It's really not that hard.

MSVC: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/?q=build+tools#...

Clang targeting MSVC ABI: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/download/llvmo...

Clang targeting MinGW ABI: https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw/releases/tag/20260421

GCC targeting MinGW ABI, running in MSYS2: https://github.com/msys2/msys2-installer/releases/download/2...

Or, if you want a command-line, winget makes it easier still:

  winget install -e --id Microsoft.VisualStudio.BuildTools LLVM.LLVM MartinStorsjo.LLVM-MinGW.UCRT BrechtSanders.WinLibs.MCF.UCRT

One-liner, roughly on par with `pacman -S base-devel clang llvm`. To install libraries, I use `vcpkg add port sdl2` in my project, a la cargo. No more fudging with system-level dependencies.
