+# Building and Compiling C&C Generals & Zero Hour on Visual Studio 2022
+
+This guide will walk you through the process of basic setup and compilation of the C&C Generals and Zero Hour source
+code using Visual Studio 2022.
+For build using solutions and more advanced build configurations, see below.
+
+- [Prerequisites](#prerequisites)
+- [Build through Visual Studio 2022](#build-through-visual-studio-2022)
+- [Build through CMake target view](#build-through-cmake-target-view)
+- [Build using command line](#build-using-command-line)
+- [Build using solutions](#build-with-solutions)
+- [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. **Visual Studio 2022**
+
+- Ensure that the necessary C++ development components, **including MFC**, are installed.
+
+>[!NOTE]
+> You must have the MFC components installed to compile the source code. You can find it in Visual Studio Installer.

+2. **Obtain the Source Code**
+    - Clone or download the source code
+      repository: [TheSuperHackers - GeneralsGameCode](https://github.com/TheSuperHackers/GeneralsGameCode.git).
+
+---
+
+## Build through Visual Studio 2022
+
+### 1. Prepare the project
+
+- Open the cloned folder in Visual Studio 2022.
+- Wait for Visual Studio to generate the necessary CMake files.
+
+### 2. Build the Project
+
+- Select the appropriate build configuration:
+  - `Build Windows build` for a release build.
+  - `Build Windows Debug build` for a debug build.
+  - `Build Windows Internal build` for an internal build.
+  - `Build Windows Profile build` for a profile build.
+

+
+>[!TIP]
+> For more information on the different build configurations, see the [Build Configurations](build_configurations.md)
+page.
+
+- Select the target you want to build:
+  - `generalsv.exe` to build the base Generals.
+  - `generalszh.exe` to build Zero Hour.
+
+![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/37d59b79-77fc-4797-bbab-be385dd654da)
+
+- Build the project by clicking on the `Build` menu and selecting `Build`.
+- The compiled executable will be placed in the build folder. Example: `build/win32dgb/GeneralsMD/Debug`
+- Install the game executable in the game directory by clicking on the `Install` in `Build` menu. This will copy the
+  executable to the retail game directory.
+
+---
+
+## Build through CMake target view
+
+- In the Solution Explorer, click on 'switch view' and select 'CMake Targets View'.
+- Expand the 'Genzh' project and right-click on the target you want to build.
+- Select 'Build' to compile the target.
+

+
+---
+
+## Build using command line
+
+You need to install [CMake](https://cmake.org/download/) and [Ninja](https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases)
+to build the project from the command line.
+
+- In the developer command prompt, open the settings to add the x86 environment terminal.
+- In the pop-up window, click on the 'Add' and set the following: (assuming default installation path)
+  - Name: `x86 Native Tools Command Prompt`
+  - Shell Location: `C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe`
+  - Arguments: `/k "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars32.bat"`
+- Now you can open the new terminal from the terminal dropdown list.
+
+>[!Tip]
+> Alternatively, you can skip the terminal setup and simply open the "x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for
+> VS 2022" from the Start menu. Once opened, navigate to the project directory in the terminal and proceed
+> to run the commands below.
+<!-- markdownlint-disable-next-line -->
+- #### 1. **Release Build**
+
+  - **Choose the build configuration:**
+    - `cmake --workflow --preset win32` for Release build.
+
+  - **Install the game executable in the game directory (assuming the build was successful):**
+    - `cmake --install build/win32 --config Release`
+
+- #### 2. **Development and Debug Builds**
+
+  - **Choose the build configuration:**
+    - `cmake --workflow --preset win32dgb` for Debug build.
+    - `cmake --workflow --preset win32int` for Internal build.
+    - `cmake --workflow --preset win32prof` for Profile build.
+
+  - **Install the game executable in the game directory (assuming the build was successful):**
+    - `cmake --install build/<preset name>`
+
+- **To build a specific target:**
+  - Run `cmake --build build/<preset name> --target <target name>`
+  - Example: `cmake --build build/win32dgb --target z_generals`
+  - Or: `cmake --build build/win32int --target g_generals`
+
+For more CMake options, see the [CMake Guide](cmake_guide).
+
+---
+
+## Build with Solutions
+
+- Generate the Visual Studio solution with the appropriate preset (see above):
+- Run `cmake --preset win32 -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A Win32`
+- Navigate to the `build/win32` folder and open the generated solution file.
+- Build the project using the Visual Studio interface.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **Missing DLLs?** Ensure that all required dependencies are installed.
+- **Game not launching?** Verify that all necessary `.BIG` files are correctly placed.
+- **Build errors?** Check Visual Studio settings and dependencies for any issues or delete the `build` folder and try
+  building again.
