To generate the projects on Windows:
```
# Put your SDL2 folders somewhere nice!
mkdir flibitBuild
cd flibitBuild
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -A Win32 -G "Visual Studio 10 2010" .. -DSDL2_INCLUDE_DIRS="C:\SDL2-2.24.0\include" -DSDL2_LIBRARIES="C:\SDL2-2.24.0\lib\x86\SDL2;C:\SDL2-2.24.0\lib\x86\SDL2main"
```
Note that on some systems, the `SDL2_LIBRARIES` list on Windows may need
SDL2/SDL2main to have `.lib` at the end of them. The reason for this
inconsistency is unknown.
Also note that if you're using a Visual Studio later than 2010, you will need to
change the `-G` string accordingly; otherwise you will get a weird cryptic
error. Refer to the list below:
- VS 2012: `"Visual Studio 11 2012"`
- VS 2013: `"Visual Studio 12 2013"`
- VS 2015: `"Visual Studio 14 2015"`
- VS 2017: `"Visual Studio 15 2017"`
- VS 2019: `"Visual Studio 16 2019"`
- VS 2022: `"Visual Studio 17 2022"`
For more detailed information and troubleshooting, see the [Compiling VVVVVV Guide](https://vsix.dev/wiki/Guide:Compiling_VVVVVV_on_Windows_with_Visual_Studio) on the vsix wiki.
To generate everywhere else:
```
mkdir flibitBuild
cd flibitBuild
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
```
macOS may be fussy about the SDK version. How to fix this is up to the whims of
however Apple wants to make CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT annoying to configure and retain
each time Xcode updates.
