Graphviz Build Instructions for Windows

+(Graphviz versions ≥ 2.30) +

+The current build process for Windows using Visual Studio is fairly +simple assuming all of the necessary files are available and have +been put in the correct place. The build assumes you have installed +binary versions of GTK 2.0 or later, +Qt, +and ltdl, +and source versions of GTS +and ann. +Further instructions can be found in the +Graphviz github repository. +

+This whole process could and should be simplified. In particular, the +3rd-party software should not be stored in two places, and the Graphviz +files that are made part of the release should come from the source package, +and not be stored separately. +In addition, the GTS and ANN build should be separate from the Graphviz +build. As 3rd-party libraries, these should only be built when the source +is updated. +

(Graphviz versions ≥ 2.22)

We now build both Visual Studio and MinGW versions of Graphviz.
