Set up environment on Windows

  1. Run powershell.

  2. Install ninja.

    Add it to the PATH. For example:

    $ENV:PATH="$ENV:PATH;C:\Program Files\ninja"

  3. Download clang-17 compiler from here (LLVM-17.0.1-win64.exe) and install it. Select "add LLVM to the PATH" while installing.

  4. Build release version of google benchmark library. It doesn't matter which compiler you use to build it. Install google benchmark library with:

    cmake --build "build" --config Release --target install

    Add google benchmark library to PATH

    $ENV:PATH="$ENV:PATH;C:\Program Files (x86)\benchmark\lib"

  5. Go to any lab and check if local lab builds are working. You can find the CMake commands here, but note that you need to add -G Ninja to the CMake invocation.

  6. If everything works as expected, you can set environment variables permanently (run as Administrator):

    # be carefull, back up your PATH
setx /M PATH "$($env:path);C:\Program Files\ninja"
setx /M PATH "$($env:path);C:\Program Files (x86)\benchmark\lib"
