## Building Manually

To compile TaikoArcadeLoader, you'll need to install [MSVC](https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_BuildTools.exe).

Loading this project in cliON or vscode with the cmake tools addon should then allow you to build the project.  
If you want to build yourself, here are some instructions on how to do this from a cmd shell.

Clone this repository, open *cmd* and run the following commands:

```bash
# Load the MSVC environment (Change this to your actual vcvarsall.bat path)
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64

# Configure the build folder (this is only needed the first time)
cmake -B build -S . -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

# Build TaikoArcadeLoader
cmake --build build --config Release --target bnusio
```

The compiled build of TaikoArcadeLoader will be written in the `dist` folder.
