+You can download and build GLEW using the [vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) dependency manager:
+
+    git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
+    cd vcpkg
+    ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
+    ./vcpkg integrate install
+    vcpkg install glew
+
+The GLEW port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please [create an issue or pull request](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) on the vcpkg repository.

 The code generation workflow is a complex brew of gnu make, perl and python, that works best on Linux or Mac.
 For most end-users of GLEW the official releases are the best choice, with first class support.
