### Compiling ImHex on Windows
On Windows, ImHex is built through msys2 / mingw. To install all dependencies, open a msys2 window and run the PKGCONFIG script in the [dist/msys2](dist/msys2) folder.
After all the dependencies are installed, run the following commands to build ImHex:
```sh
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$PWD/install" \
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache \
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache \
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-fuse-ld=lld" \
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-fuse-ld=lld" \
-DCMAKE_OBJC_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache \
-DCMAKE_OBJCXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache \
-DRUST_PATH="$USERPROFILE/.cargo/bin/" \
..
mingw32-make -j install
```
ImHex will look for any extra resources either in various folders directly next to the executable or in `%localappdata%/imhex`
