title: Using the Google APIs Client Library for C++ on Windows
body: <p>I noticed that Google has this <a href="http://google.github.io/google-api-cpp-client/latest/index.html" rel="noreferrer">SDK</a> for accessing various Google services using C++ on the client side.</p>
  
  <p>Curiously, they have support only for Linux and Mac OS.  Arguably there are other popular client OSes as well, on which the developer would want to use Google's services. I want to write a C++ app for Windows8 and I want to be able to use the Google C++ API.  Has anyone tried that and succeeded?</p>
  
  <p>Btw, I noticed that the the <a href="https://groups.google.com/d/forum/google-api-cpp-client" rel="noreferrer">discussion group</a> for this SDK is quite empty.  Wonder what kind of audience does Google have in mind with this library.</p>
