Re: Building with visual studio? looking for a tutorial.

 

It's been a really long time since I've done this but you should be able
to tell cmake to create a VSxxxx project (`cmake -G "Visual Studio 14
2015 [arch]`") and then use msvs to build.  You might want to disable
python scripting, oce, and ngspice unless you feel like building msvc
variant of those dependencies.  You will also need a msvc build of boost
as well for the unit test library.  I'm pretty sure Simon Richter
creates msvs builds so he may have some more up to date information than
I do.
