#### A note on D:\\TBuild
***In case you don't have a *D* drive, or prefer to use another working directory.***
Since all of the examples and commands here are using the *D* drive, you might find it more comfortable to map the drive to a folder you of your choice.
For example, to map *D:\\* to *C:\\base_folder_for_telegram_dev*, open the cmd and execute: `net use D: \\localhost\c$\base_folder_for_telegram_dev`.

Also, actually add **D:\\TBuild\\Libraries\\ninja\\** (not just for running the **gyp** command) to your path environment variable, since Telegram needs it for the build process.
If you want to pass a build define (like `TDESKTOP_DISABLE_AUTOUPDATE` or `TDESKTOP_DISABLE_NETWORK_PROXY`), call `set TDESKTOP_BUILD_DEFINES=TDESKTOP_DISABLE_AUTOUPDATE,TDESKTOP_DISABLE_NETWORK_PROXY,...` (comma seperated string)
