Failure to compile librealsense on Windows system

[CWill31]

I compiled according to this installation wizard：https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/tree/master/wrappers/unity

My compilation environment is Windows 10 and VS2017。

But there was this mistake：

However, sys/time.h seems to be a unique header file for Linux systems.

Does this mean that librealsense is only suitable for compiling under linux? Or is there a problem in some part of me?

Unless there is a particular reason why you need to build Librealsense on Windows via compilation (such as installing on unusual hardware that is not a typical PC), I would recommend installing Librealsense on Windows with the pre-built 'binary' version that can be downloaded from the 'Releases' page. You can download the 503 mb file 'Intel.RealSense.SDK-win10.exe'.

https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/releases/

Running this exe file will install the pre-built Librealsense SDK and tools such as the RealSense Viewer and Depth Quality tool on your Windows PC.

In regard to the Unity wrapper, there is a shortcut trick in Windows using drag-and-drop that can set up the wrapper without having to do Visual Studio compilation. This requires the SDK to be installed first, as it involves drag-and-drop of DLL files from the SDK's folders.
