# Use [winstrap](https://github.com/golang/winstrap)
# The Automatic Way: [winstrap](https://github.com/golang/winstrap)
Download the latest version of winstrap.exe from the [winstrap](https://github.com/golang/winstrap) page and run it.
The winstrap tool is used by the Go project to turn a fresh Windows VM image into a Windows builder. It installs all necessary dependencies. It's sometimes out of date, though, as it's only updated when we need to update the Windows base image for the [Go continuous build](https://build.golang.org/).
To use winstrap, sownload the latest version of winstrap.exe from the [winstrap](https://github.com/golang/winstrap) page and run it.
It will download some installers to your desktop, which you should run. Just click through; all the defaults are fine.

# 64-bit Notes
## 64-bit Notes
1. Ensure you are able to compile a working 32-bit Go first.
1. Grab the latest zip from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Automated%20Builds/ and extract it over the MinGW directory, so that for example the .exe files end up in the same location as the 32-bit ones.
1. Replace ` gcc.exe ` and ` ar.exe ` with their 64-bit counterparts.
1. Set ` GOARCH=amd64 ` and away you go!
# Alternative Strategy
Install http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/
Install Python 2.x.
Install Mercurial for Python 2.x.
Make a "godev.bat" file on your desktop with:
```
set GOROOT=c:\go
set GOPATH=c:\you\gopath
set PATH=%PATH%;%GOROOT%\bin;C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts
cd %GOROOT%\src
CMD
```
Then double-click and type "all.bat". The codereview extension should work too (test with "hg pq")
