Ubuntu ships with gcc, but make sure to run sudo apt upgrade.

CMake:

Download the cmake installer from the CMake downloads page and run the installer.
Make sure that CMake is added to the system PATH for the current user in the install options.

Visual Studio build tools:

Download the installer from this page.
Start the installer and select "Desktop development with C++" and "Universal Windows Platform build tools".
Uncheck all the "optional" SDKs except MSVC for a minimal install.
Locate the msbuild executable and add it to your path - it will be in a place something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\BuildTools\MSBuild\Current\Bin\.

Visual Studio Debugger:

Download the Windows SDK from this page.
Select Debugging Tools for Windows
Check the for the cdb executable to ensure installation has been successful - it will be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64.

To actually build on Windows, the process is a bit different.

Open Powershell and navigate to vcu-gui/build.
Run cmake .. from this folder, it should build juceaide and generate the file VCU-GUI.sln.
Run msbuild ./VCU-GUI.sln to build the project.
