+# 3. Compiling the Windows stdin wrapper
+
+To compile the stdin wrapper program for Windows, when updating the D program, you will need to compile the program with
+[LDC](https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc) in release mode. Download and install the Community edition of Visual Studio
+from [the Visual Studio website](https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/) first before installing LDC. LDC typically comes in
+a ZIP you can just extract somewhere.
+
+Make sure to compile with the 32-bit architecture flag, otherwise the EXE will not run on 32-bit machines.
