1. Run `make`.
This will build the fdbserver binary and the python bindings. If you want to build our other bindings, you will need to install a runtime for the language whose binding you want to build. Each binding has an `.mk` file which provides specific targets for that binding.
#### Windows (Experimental)
The Windows build is currently experimental and the creation of installers is
not yet supported.
1. Install Visual Studio 2017 (Community Edition is tested)
2. Install cmake (>= 3.12)
3. Download OpenJDK (>= 8) and unpack it somewhere
4. Set JAVA_HOME to the unpacked location and JAVA_COMPILE to
$JAVA_HOME/bin/javac
5. Download boost 1.67 (this exact version is required)
6. Unpack boost (in our example we use `C:\boost_1_67` - but you can chose any
other location)
7. Open the `Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017`
8. Run cmake like this: `cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DBOOST_ROOT=C:\boost_167_0 Z:\Projects\foundationdb`
9. This should succeed. In which case you can build using msbuild: `msbuild /p:Configuration=Release`
You can also open the generated solution file in Visual Studio and build from
there. However, working on FDB in Visual Studio is currently not supported (as
Visual Studio currently only sees the generated files).
