C++ programming with Microsoft Visual Studio and FEniCS

Hello,

I am using MS Visual Studio (obviously Windows 10 OS) for the developement of C++ based desktop applications. Interested to know whether FEniCS can be installed in Windows 10 to develope C++ codes? I could find from the webpage that it can be installed to work with Python.

The core components of FEniCS are written in c++, using pybind to interface them to python. Thus installing the python interface installs the c++ component as well. Demos for the c++ interface can be found at: https://bitbucket.org/fenics-project/dolfin/src/master/demo/documented/
However, I do not how to install it in Windows, as FEniCS relies on libraries such as Petsc, which is easier to configure on linux. As the fenics webpage suggest, on windows, you should use windows subsystem, or docker
