Please note that certain parameters in the following steps may vary depending on your system configuration. After cloning the project, execute these steps, customizing them to match your own system:

1. cd u1
2. mkdir build
3. cd build
4. cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=d:\projs\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-windows-static ..
5. cmake --build .

Important Note

CMake is a very large and complex tool. Please note that this is a simple example.
