# Building Retro on Windows
It is possible to build Retro on Windows, though a few of the
extensions are not supported:
- no `unix:` words
- no `gopher:` words
This is currently more difficult than on a Unix host. If you have
Windows 10 and WSL, it may be better to build under that (using
the Unix instructions).
## Setup Build Environment
Retro on Windows is built with TCC.
Go to http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/tinycc/
Download the *winapi-full* and *tcc-xxxx-bin* packages for your
system. Decompress them, copy the headers from the winapi
package into the tcc directory.
## Prepare Source
Copy the `source/interfaces/retro-windows.c` and the
`source/interfaces/retro-windows.c` to the directory you setup
tcc into.
## Build
Building will require use of the command line. Assuming that
tcc.exe is in the current directory along with the Retro sources:
tcc retro-windows.c -o retro.exe
