All C++ projects can also be built with the platform independent IDE Visual Studio Code from Microsoft. Anyway for Windows, we recommend to build and work with the full Visual Studio.
Clone the SLProject GIT repository into a directory of your choice.
Install the latest CMake. You need at least CMake Version 3.3.
Install Visual Studio Code
Open Visual Studio Code and install the extension for C/C++, CMake and CMake Tools.
With File/Open... choose the SLProject folder. The cmake configuration and generation should automatically start. This can last a minute or so. After that a cmake icon appears at the bottom of the left toolbar.
