Allow Windows users who aren't familiar with MSVC-equivalent commands to
GCC and/or don't have the GNU toolchain installed (via MinGW, etc.) to
practice this example.

You will need to build the vendor library into a static archive to complete this
exercise. Navigate to the ``Help/guide/tutorial/Step4/Vendor/lib`` directory
and build the code as appropriate for your platform. On Unix-like operating
systems the appropriate commands are usually:
and build the code as appropriate for your platform.
Typical commands for a GCC toolchain on Unix-like systems are:
.. code-block:: console
g++ -c Vendors.cxx
g++ -c Vendor.cxx
ar rvs libVendor.a Vendor.o
Likewise, sample commands for an MSVC toolchain on Windows are:
.. code-block:: console
cl -c Vendor.cxx
lib -out:Vendor.lib Vendor.obj
Here, since you're directly invoking ``cl`` and ``lib``, make sure to use a
Developer Command Prompt for your version of Visual Studio with the same
target architecture used by this CMake project.
Then complete ``TODO 11`` through ``TODO 14``.
