Hi, Thanks for the pointers. I wasn't using Cmake, so I will try again using it. The older instructions didn't mention it, so I will try again.
Another related question: should I leave the visual studio folder where it is or do I need to move it? The instructions seemed to imply that I had to move it. Maybe that was a mistake that I made.
