| To use this sample on a Windows host operating system, GNU Make needs to be in |
| your path. This can be setup using chocolatey or by manually installing it. |
| |
| Chocolatey Method |
| ================= |
| |
| Install make using the following command: |
| |
| .. code-block:: bash |
| |
| choco install make |
| |
| Once installed, build the application as normal. |
| |
| Manual Install Method |
| ===================== |
| |
| The pre-built make application can be downloaded from |
| https://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm by either getting both the |
| ``Binaries`` and ``Dependencies`` and extracting them to the same folder, or |
| getting the ``Complete package`` setup. Once installed and in the path, build |
| the application as normal. |
