 Building universal binaries that will run on both arm64 and x86_64 can be achieved by
 configuring the CMake project with `"-DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=arm64;x86_64"`.
 
+### Building with Clang on Windows
+
+Clang-cl (Clang with MSVC-like command-line) should work by default. If you are generating a Visual
+Studio project, and have installed the LLVM package which is distributed with Visual Studio, then
+you can configure a Clang-cl build by passing "-T ClangCL" on your configuration commandline.
+
+If you wish to use Clang with GNU-like command-line instead, you can pass
+`-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++` and `-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang` on your configuration commandline.
+clang++ and clang must be on your `PATH` for this to work. Only more recent versions of CMake
+support Clang's GNU-like command-line on Windows. CMake 3.12 is not supported, CMake 3.15 has
+support, CMake 3.20 or higher is recommended.  Note that CMake doesn't seem to automatically link a
+runtime library when building in this configuration, but this can be remedied by setting the
+`MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY` property. See the [official
+documentation](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.15/prop_tgt/MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY.html) of this
+property for usage recommendations.
