 1. Make sure you have a C++ toolchain installed.  Currently, the Linux/Mac makefile assumes this is accessed via a `gcc` command.  You can use `gcc -v` to verify that such a compiler is installed, and check the version number.  On Windows, install the [Visual Studio Command-Line Tools](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/walkthrough-compiling-a-native-cpp-program-on-the-command-line?view=vs-2019).
 
 2. Install the **SDL2** , **SDL2_image** and **SDL2_mixer** development libraries.  For details, see:

-0. Run the **Developer Command Prompt for VS**.
-1. `cd soda` to change to the _soda_ subdirectory (next to this document).
-2. `build_win.bat` to do the build.
+1. Install build tools .
+2. Please store the SDL include file and library file in a location that is compatible with the DeveloperCommandPrompt.
+This procedure depends on the environment of the person building it, so I can't go into detail.
+However, here are some hints:
+If you store the SDL files in the storage location for include files and library files associated with the environment variable "VCToolsInstallDir", they will be recognized.
+Alternatively, you may want to store your include and library files in "soda/src".
+In either case, the include files should be placed in the SDL2 folder.
+3. Launch **DeveloperCommandPrompt for VC 20xx**
+4. command `cd soda` to change to the _soda_ subdirectory (next to this document).
+5. command `build_win.bat`
+6. The executable file will be written into the soda folder.
 
 When you run this program, it will display the execution location of the tool 
 and the bitness of the exe file it will generate.

+### Launch Soda
+Place SDL2.dll, SDL2_image.dll, and SDL2_mixer.dll in the same folder as the executable file and launch either soda_x86.exe or soda_x64.exe.

+### Warning. 
 That should do it _if_ the SDL paths are all sorted out.  
 Which they probably aren't.  This is a work in progress.
