You need to :

1. Install Tortoise Git : http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/.
   1. Kind of SSH Client : TortoisePLink
2. Install msysgit (needed by Tortoise Git) : http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/.
   1. Use Unix style end line.
   2. Do not install in "Program files" or in a path which contains spaces. We recommend to install in C:\git.
3. If you want an access to the master repository : generate a RSA 2048 bit with Puttygen (come with tortoisegit) and send it to a project manager.
4. Install Qt SDK (Qt creator is included) : http://get.qt.nokia.com/qtsdk/qt-sdk-win-opensource-2010.02.1.exe .
5. Add C:\Qt\2010.02.1\mingw\bin;C:\Qt\2010.02.1\qt\bin to your path environment variable.
6. Install proto buff library source
   1. Download the source zip here (2.4.0a) : http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/downloads/list and unzip in C:\protobuf
   2. Edit <Qt dir>\mingw\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.4.0\libstdc++.la and replace library_names='libstdc++.dll.a' by library_names='libstdc++.a'
   3. Launch "Git Bash" and go to /c/protobuf then type :
      1. export MAKE=mingw32-make
      2. ./configure CXXFLAGS=-O2 --enable-shared=no
      3. mingw32-make
   4. Add to your path these directories : C:\protobuf\src\;C:\protobuf\src\.libs to reach executable protoc and dll libprotobuf-7.dll.
7. Git clone the repository :
   1. git://dev.d-lan.net/d-lan.git if you just want clone the repository.
   2. ssh://git@dev.d-lan.net/d-lan.git if you have a full access (read+write).
8. Generate the sources for the .proto files
   1. Launch "Git bash" and go to d-lan/application
   2. Type ./1.generate_proto_cpp.sh (each time you modify the .proto files you have to run this script)
