+Build Requirements
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Please follow the steps below if you only want to **build** lldb.
+
+1. Install `Visual Studio <https://visualstudio.microsoft.com>` with the
+ "Desktop Development with C++" workload. Make sure that the latest Windows
+ SDK and the Active Template Library (ATL) are installed.
+2. Install `Git Bash <https://git-scm.com/install/windows>`_ and add
+ ``<Git install dir>\usr\bin`` to your ``PATH``. Verify that utilities like
+ ``dirname`` are available from your terminal.
+3. Install `make <https://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/>`_ and
+ verify that it's in your ``PATH``.
+4. Install `Python 3 <https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/>`_ from the
+ GUI installer. If you will be building LLDB in Debug mode, **include the
+ debug libraries** during the install. Make sure ``python`` is added to your
+ ``PATH``.
+5. Install `SWIG for Windows <http://www.swig.org/download.html>`_. Make sure
+ ``swig`` is added to your ``PATH`` and that ``swig -swiglib`` points to the
+ correct directory.
+6. Register the Debug Interface Access DLLs with the Registry from a privileged
terminal.
