+# Pre-built Windows dependencies for [VCMI](https://github.com/vcmi/vcmi)
+
+Built and exported by [Vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg).
+
+## Instructions
+
+* Install Vcpkg and it's dependencies.
+* Build all required packages for one or both architectures:
+```
+vcpkg install minizip:x64-windows sdl2:x64-windows sdl2-image:x64-windows sdl2-ttf:x64-windows sdl2-mixer:x64-windows boost:x64-windows qt5:x64-windows ffmpeg:x64-windows
+vcpkg install minizip:x86-windows sdl2:x86-windows sdl2-image:x86-windows sdl2-ttf:x86-windows sdl2-mixer:x86-windows boost:x86-windows qt5:x86-windows ffmpeg:x86-windows
+```
+* Export packages so 7z archive will be produced:
+```
+vcpkg export minizip:x64-windows sdl2:x64-windows sdl2-image:x64-windows sdl2-ttf:x64-windows sdl2-mixer:x64-windows boost:x64-windows qt5:x64-windows ffmpeg:x64-windows --7zip
+vcpkg export minizip:x86-windows sdl2:x86-windows sdl2-image:x86-windows sdl2-ttf:x86-windows sdl2-mixer:x86-windows boost:x86-windows qt5:x86-windows ffmpeg:x86-windows --7zip
+```
+* Rename archives appropriately. Bevare that Vcpkg use newest MSVC available by default, but [it's possible to enforce certain version with custom triplet](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/issues/1207).  
+```
+vcpkg-export-20170802-233045.7z -> vcpkg-export-x86-windows-v140.7z
+vcpkg-export-20170802-233045.7z -> vcpkg-export-x64-windows-v140.7z
+```
+* Rename root directory inside archive from ```vcpkg-export-20170802-233045``` to ```vcpkg```. Can be done via command line 7-zip:
+```
+# Linux
+7za rn vcpkg-export-x64-windows-v140.7z vcpkg-export-20170802-233045 vcpkg
+# Windows. Fail for some reason.
+7z.exe rn vcpkg-export-x64-windows-v140.7z vcpkg-export-20170802-233045 vcpkg
+```
