Document a way to get Veilid from source on Windows
This provides one method for getting the Veilid source code on Windows, and launching a node. It is mainly intended to confirm that https://gitlab.com/veilid/cursive-flexi-logger-view/-/merge_requests/1 addresses a build problem. It provides a "development" environment in the sense that one could, in theory, edit the .rs files in Notepad. It does not discuss whether there is any value in seeing the debug messages in a cmd.exe window, and does not document other deployment options that may be possible, such as a Windows service. The information could be revised later to be more maintainable, e.g., by avoiding the hardcoded protoc and capnp version numbers and removing the x86_64 assumption.

**TODO**
|
For a simple installation allowing Rust development, follow these steps:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Install Git from https://git-scm.com/download/win
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Install Rust from https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup/dist/x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/rustup-init.exe
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ensure that protoc.exe is in a directory in your path. For example, it can be obtained from https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/download/v24.2/protoc-24.2-win64.zip
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ensure that capnp.exe is in a directory in your path. For example, it can be obtained from https://capnproto.org/capnproto-c++-win32-0.10.4.zip
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Start a Command Prompt window.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
git clone https://gitlab.com/veilid/veilid.git
|
||||||
|
cd veilid
|
||||||
|
cargo build
|
||||||
|
cd target
|
||||||
|
cd debug
|
||||||
|
veilid-server.exe
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This may result in a popup window from local security software, asking whether you wish to allow network access by veilid-server.exe.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To use the CLI, navigate to the above `debug` directory in another Command Prompt window (while veilid-server.exe is still running), and type:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
veilid-cli.exe
|
||||||
|
```
