| Windows | 20 | Build RustDesk on Windows with MSVC, Rust, vcpkg, Sciter, and LLVM. This guide covers the required toolchain setup before compiling the desktop app from source. |
|
Use this guide to build RustDesk on Windows by preparing the MSVC toolchain, Rust, vcpkg, Sciter, and LLVM first.
{{% notice note %}} The command line commands here must be run in Git Bash not command prompt or you will get syntax errors. {{% /notice %}}
Dependencies
C++ build environment
Download MSVC and install.
Select Windows as Developer machine OS and check C++, then download Visual Studio Community version and install. The installation may take a while.
Rust develop environment
Download rustup-init.exe and run it as administrator to install rust.
vcpkg
Go to the folder you want to clone vcpkg and use Git Bash to run the following commands, download vcpkg, install 64-bit version of libvpx, libyuv and opus.
If you don't have Git installed, get Git here.
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg
vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
export VCPKG_ROOT=$PWD/vcpkg
vcpkg/vcpkg install libvpx:x64-windows-static libyuv:x64-windows-static opus:x64-windows-static aom:x64-windows-static
Add System environment variable VCPKG_ROOT=<path>\vcpkg. The <path> should be the location you choose above to clone vcpkg.
Sciter
Desktop versions use Sciter for GUI, please download sciter.dll.
LLVM
rust-bindgen depends on clang, download LLVM and install, add System environment variable LIBCLANG_PATH=<llvm_install_dir>/bin.
You can download version 15.0.2 of the LLVM binaries here: 64 bit / 32 bit.
Build

cd rustdesk
mkdir -p target/debug
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/c-smile/sciter-sdk/master/bin.win/x64/sciter.dll
mv sciter.dll target/debug
cargo run
