Not sure how to begin....

I'd like to build the library for local use. But I have no I dea if I made the library or not. CMake is a mystery to me. but I think I made the makefiles, once I could tell it to use GCC instead of CC (my cygwing in unusable).

Can I get step-by-step instructions for building the lib and examp,es on a windows PC?
Win 10
I have ubuntu running in WSL, but should I have a windows version of CMake?

I have gotten further, I guess running in the WSL is not my thing. I pulled CMake for windows and it's building but not running in the command line. I can't debug it there. When I try to build as a VS project it says it can't find string_view, and that's a hard stop. what could be making the example executable call abort()?

Okay, I'm dumb and I needed the gnuplot libs.
