I'm still doing automatic Visual Studio builds on Jenkins, and I think I've found all places where I need to do "@echo on" so all commands show up in the build logs. There is a vcpkg based build[1] that is missing a few packages, but you can probably lift the vcpkg incantations and the cmake integration of vcpkg from there. There is also a everything-from-scratch Visual Studio build[2] that pulls in all required packages as artifacts and gives them to cmake in a way that it understands, which sometimes are cmake variables and sometimes environment variables. I'd probably get started with vcpkg, and then add the missing packages from the everything-from-scratch recipes. The required packages are collected on a separate page[3] on my Jenkins installation. If you really want to do a good deed, you can make vcpkg packages from the missing stuff and submit them.
