See https://www.producingoss.com/, then. The book draws on the
author's experience on this very mailing list.

Another standard reference is https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html.

The gen-make.py script generates VS projects. That should be
documented in INSTALL. Patches welcome ☺ (both to INSTALL and to the
script)

Cheers,

P.S. For orientation, gen-make.py is actually used by the Unix-like
build as well, though it's not generally run directly. (I only ever
run it directly when I've created a new C file. Running it manually
regenerates build-outputs.mk, which in turn allows the build to succeed.
Is this trick documented in INSTALL or HACKING?)
