Privilege check
===============
Check your privilege. On Windows.
Displays a window, showing
* if the current user belongs to the BUILTIN\Administrators group,
* whether the process is "run as Administrator",
* if it has elevated privileges,
* process's "integrity level".
If it's not "run as Administrator", a button allows to actually re-run the
executable as Administrator, utilizing Windows' User Account Control feature.
Building
--------
Create the build files using CMake and build using your native build tools
(Visual Studio/make/etc.).
* **Example (Visual Studio).**
In the example below, the project directory is
"C:\workspace\personal\privilege-check" and Visual Studio 2015 is used,
targeting x86-64.
> cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" C:\workspace\personal\privilege-check
...
> cmake --build . --config release
...
* **Example (MinGW-w64).**
Another example, this time using Cygwin + MinGW-w64, targeting x86-64
(the project directory is "/cygdrive/c/workspace/personal/privilege-check").
> cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" \
-D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ \
-D CMAKE_RC_COMPILER=x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres \
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
/cygdrive/c/workspace/personal/privilege-test
...
> cmake --build . -- -j
...
