OS independent algorithm 'Creating GUI applications in C in three steps': Install Qt Creator. Create new project (Qt Widgets Application) Build it. Congratulations, you've got your first GUI in C. Now you're ready to read a lot of documentation to create something more complicate than 'Hello world' GUI application. The Win32 - C library used to build windows applications which running on a wide range of free compilers, including Visual Studio Express and Dev-C. Win32 has been designed to be easy to use, and simple to understand hence an ideal starting point for anyone learning to program for windows using C.
This document will describe the process of getting started with Guichan. You should keep in mind though that to use Guichan you ought to be a good C++ programmer with good understanding about the language C++, otherwise you are doomed to fail, this cannot be stretched enough.
To getting started in Windows you need to either have a MinGW installation (like Dev-C++) or Microsoft Visial Studio 8 installed (binaries for lesser versions aren't supported since Guichan 0.6.0, but of course you can always compile binaries yourself for your MSVC version). As Guichan is plain C++ using Guichan with other IDEs or compiler shouldn't be a problem, however that is out of the scope for this document.
MinGW and Dev-C++
To start you need to install Guichan (and libraries Guichan depend on, consult the library in question's documentation for an installation guide on library dependency installation). For MinGW you need to download the MinGW distribution of Guichan. To install Guichan simply copy the content of the headers directory to the header directory of the MinGW installation and the libraries to the library directory of the MinGW installation.

To set up a project the only thing you need to think about is linking with the Guichan libraries. It's done by passing all libraries you should link to to the linker's option (in Dev-C++ enter Project Options->Parameters->Linker).
To be able to execute an application dependent on Guichan the Guichan DLLs must be placed in the path of the application. The simplest way of doing that is to copy the DLLs (the needed DLLs) from the MinGW distribution to the directory of the application.
Visual Studio 8
To start you need to install Guichan (and libraries Guichan depend on, consult the library in question's documentation for an installation guide on library dependency installation). For Visual Studio 8 you need to download the Visual Studio 8 distribution of Guichan. To install Guichan simply copy the content of the headers directory to the header directory of the Visaul Studio 8 installation and the libraries to the library directory of the Visual Studio 8 installation.
To set up a project there a couple of things you need to think about. First of all it is linking with the Guichan libraries. It's done by passing all libraries you should link to to the linker's option which is found in Your Project Properties->Configuration Options->Linker->Input.
Note that the debug profile need to link with debug versions of the libraries whic ends with a d.
Secondly you need to enlable Use run-time library: Multithreaded DLL which is found under Your Project Properties->Configuration Properties->Code Generation.
To be able to execute an application dependent on Guichan the Guichan DLLs must be placed in the path of the application. The simplest way of doing that is to copy the DLLs (the needed DLLs) from the Visual Studio 8 distribution to the directory of the application. As with library files you need to have debug versions of the DLLs for a debug build (as with libraries they end with d).

To start you need to install Guichan (and libraries Guichan depend on, consult the library in question's documentation for an installation guide on library dependency installation). For Unix you need to download the source distribution of Guichan. To install it execute the following commands:
To verify the installation you can enter the examples directory and compile the examples.
To set up a project the only thing you need to think about is linking with Guichan libraries.
