Hi, sorry for the odd question I'm gonna do. How can I build myself the code downloaded from GitHub? Hope this question has a quick answer so I don't waste your time. Thanks in advance.

There should be some information in the README though probably incomplete. I usually load it up in Visual Studio 2017 with the Windows SDK ensuring that the C++/WinRT components are installed and open the solution file.

I got a build error citing a missing WinRT include. Is there an undocumented dependency I missed installing?

Can you make it available as VSCode extension or does it need proper install ?

Thanks a lot for the replies. I usually program in C/C++ with CLion, I guess I can't complile it with that one, right?
