111      * Since libgig 4.3.0 presence of some UUID generating function is required to
112        be provided by the underlying system. This was an optional feature in
113        previous versions of libgig for many years, its absence only meant that you
114        were unable to load gig files created/modified by libgig to be accepted by
115        Tascam's original GigaStudio studio software, did not mean any restriction
116        for being used with LinuxSampler though. This has changed in the meantime,
117        so this is now a hard build requirement, as you would potentially encounter
118        misbehaviours now even if you stay entirely in the Linux eco system if UUIDs
119        were missing in gig files.

170  Compiling for Windows  Compiling for Windows using CMake
171  =====================  =================================
172    The easiest way is to compile is to use vcpkg (https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg)
173    to install libsndfile (required) and cppunit (optional). In the vcpkg install dir
174    type:
175    .\vcpkg.exe install libsndfile cppunit [--triplet x64-windows]
176    
177    This should install the libraries in vcpkg, add the triplet option if you wish to
178    get the 64bit libraries.
179    
180    In an empty directory type:
181    cmake <libgig source dir> -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<vcpkg dir>\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake
182    [-G"Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64"]
183    
184    Use the -G option to select the visual studio version and whether to compile for
185    64bits.
186    
187    This will create libgig.sln file which you can open in visual studio or you can use
188    the following command line to compile:
189    
190    cmake --build . --config <Release|Debug|MinRelSize|RelWithDebInfo>
