Tutorial to compile on Windows 10

[flyingtomato2]

Hi there!
Is there any step tutorial or videos to compile on a fresh windows 10 installation?
There is a very good one for ubuntu here. Is it possible to make one for windows 10?
A detailed tutorial will be very helpful.

There are a few options: you can download and install a Linux app (Ubuntu 18.04) from the Windows store after enabling the Linux subsystem for Windows.

Otherwise, are you familiar with Cygwin or MingW? If you can manage Cygwin, you can just remove the references to oclVanityGen in the Makefile and compile the CPU only version.

My Makefile on cygwin:

$ cat Makefile
LIBS=-lpcre -lcrypto -lm -lpthread
CFLAGS=-O3 -Wall
OBJS=vanitygen.o keyconv.o pattern.o util.o
PROGS=vanitygen keyconv

PLATFORM=$(shell uname -s)
ifeq ($(PLATFORM),Darwin)
OPENCL_LIBS=-framework OpenCL
else
OPENCL_LIBS=-lOpenCL
endif

most: vanitygen keyconv

all: $(PROGS)

vanitygen: vanitygen.o pattern.o util.o
        $(CC) $^ -o $@ $(CFLAGS) $(LIBS)

keyconv: keyconv.o util.o
        $(CC) $^ -o $@ $(CFLAGS) $(LIBS)

clean:
        rm -f $(OBJS) $(PROGS) $(TESTS)

then "make" and run: ./vanitygen.exe -v

$ ./vanitygen.exe
Vanitygen 0.22 (OpenSSL 1.0.2p  14 Aug 2018)
Usage: ./vanitygen [-vqnrik1NT] [-t <threads>] [-f <filename>|-] [<pattern>...]
Generates a bitcoin receiving address matching <pattern>, and outputs the
address and associated private key.  The private key may be stored in a safe
location or imported into a bitcoin client to spend any balance received on
the address.
By default, <pattern> is interpreted as an exact prefix.

Options:
-v            Verbose output
-q            Quiet output
-n            Simulate
-r            Use regular expression match instead of prefix
              (Feasibility of expression is not checked)
-i            Case-insensitive prefix search
-k            Keep pattern and continue search after finding a match
-1            Stop after first match
-N            Generate namecoin address
-T            Generate bitcoin testnet address
-X <version>  Generate address with the given version
-F <format>   Generate address with the given format (pubkey or script)
-P <pubkey>   Specify base public key for piecewise key generation
-e            Encrypt private keys, prompt for password
-E <password> Encrypt private keys with <password> (UNSAFE)
-t <threads>  Set number of worker threads (Default: number of CPUs)
-f <file>     File containing list of patterns, one per line
              (Use "-" as the file name for stdin)
-o <file>     Write pattern matches to <file>
-s <file>     Seed random number generator from <file>

Does that help so far? I could do up a reasonable tutorial for Windows 10, although I'm not entirely sure how to compile the ocl version just yet. I'll have a stab at it though.
