Make and Compile LSQUIC-Client
------------------------------

The LSQUIC-Client for Windows is currently housed on the master branch.
To check it out specify (from the directory where the code will be housed):

Clone lsquic-client:

```
git clone https://github.com/litespeedtech/lsquic-client.git
cd lsquic-client
git checkout master
```

cmake must be run to prepare to build the software in the top level
cloned directory. The dot at the end is required. Begin with the debug
version as it includes all of the programs.
Configure the build using cmake (you can specify `Release` instead of `Debug`
to build an optimized version of the library, but that won't build tests):

```
cmake -DCMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM=x64 --config Debug -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF
cmake -DCMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM=x64 -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF ^
-DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-windows-static -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ^
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=c:/tools/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake ^
-DBORINGSSL_DIR=%boringssl% .
```

Visual Studio can now be brought up, and there will be projects in the
cloned directory. The ALL_BUILD project will build the full project.
Make sure the solution configuration is set to *Debug*. The project may
need to be built twice as the first time some of the compiles will fail
as the lsquic.lib library has not completed building in the first attempt.

Both the debug and optmized versions can co-exist in the same
environment as they are compiled to different directories.
Compile everything (add `/m` flag if you have processors to spare):

To build the optimized version, repeat the process above with a slightly
different cmake command:
```
cmake -DCMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM=x64 --config Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
msbuild ALL_BUILD.vcxproj
```

After cmake has finished, you can open the project, set the solution
configuration to *Release* and build the ALL_BUILD project. There are
many fewer programs in the optimized version.
`http_client.exe` should be found in the `Debug` (or `Release`) directory.

Run tests (assuming `Debug` build):

```
msbuild RUN_TESTS.vcxproj
```

Have fun,

LiteSpeed QUIC Team.
