Compiling in Visual Studio (by Bob)
Hi:
I am a beginner user and programmer with knowledge of C#, Fortan and VB.NET and some C++. I do not know anything about cmake though. I have downloaded the source code files and tried to use the instructions given on the website to import the code into Visual Studio 2022. It did not work because cmake gave errors and stopped. Then I tried to use Visual Studio 2022 directly. In VS 2022, I have cloned the source code. However, still a solution file is not created and when I tried to run the program, it gave me errors. I am trying to bring in the source code into visual studio to learn about the source code, and modify it to use only the portions that I need for educational purposes. I am trying to see the actual source code and the links between the files. I also want to compile the code as is to make sure all is working first before I start to dissect the code.
I appreciate any help you can give me to do this. Thank you.

You should follow these steps:
https://github.com/solvespace/...me-ov-file#building-on-windows
And these ones:
https://github.com/solvespace/...uilding-with-visual-studio-ide
cmake-gui will be in your start menu after you install cmake.
If it fails to build copy paste the specific error messages you are getting and the step at which they happen.
Do not be tempter to download the source as a zip file actually check it out with git by following the instructions.
