Would anybody care to contribute the appropriate files? Note that Fossil has a two-stage build process. First it builds some C programs that are used to pre-process the C code. It then runs these C programs to convert the code in the source tree into new C code. The converted C code is then compiled by the second phase to generate the Fossil executable. Traditional unix "make" has no difficulty handling a two-phase build like this. But MSVC seems unable to do it. I observe that cmake claims to be able to generate MSVC projects. Does this mean that cmake is also incapable of doing a two-phase build? Or has cmake found some way around the limitations of MSVC?
