How to configure builds for Windows users

There are probably still people who want to run this project on Windows. So I tell you how I tried

It works in VS2022 (msvc v143), so it works in most cases

1. Clone this project and install Panda3D(1.10.9)
   bash复制

   git clone https://github.com/lettier/3d-game-shaders-for-beginners.git

2. Open the visual studio
3. Create new c++ empty project
   • project name: whatever you want
   • location: {cloned directory}\demonstration
   • check "place solution and project in the same directory"
4. Move demonstration\src\main.cxx to the project directoy
5. Add to the project by 'Add Existing File'
6. Open main.cxx and comment out #include <unistd.h>
7. Change "Debug" to "Release" below the menu bar
8. Open up the project configuration pages
9. Change output directory to $(SolutionDir)..\ in the General tab
10. Add PATH=C:\Panda3D-1.10.9-x64\bin;%PATH% in the Debugging tab -> Environment
11. Add C:\Panda3D-1.10.9-x64\include in the VC++ directory tab -> External include directoies
12. Add C:\Panda3D-1.10.9-x64\lib in the VC++ directories tab -> Library directories
