What are steps to compile code on windows?

Question

I am looking for instructions for compiling the framework on windows. Can somebody post a reply with detailed steps?

Running configure script does not help.

I just tried and had a problem building master on Windows. Here's what I did to build on Windows using VS17.

1. Start a Visual Studio command prompt
2. cd actor-framework
3. git checkout 0.16.1
4. mkdir build
5. cd build
6. cmake .. -DCAF_NO_PYTHON=yes -DCAF_NO_OPENCL=yes -DCAF_NO_TOOLS=yes -DCAF_NO_EXAMPLES=yes -DCAF_NO_UNIT_TESTS=yes -DCAF_LOG_LEVEL=1
7. cmake --build .

Alternatively you can use caf/0.16.1@bincrafters/stable in Conan Center.
