Help with Windows build of CSP

[AdamGlustein]

I am looking for some help in getting the CSP Windows build working for local development. I have installed Visual Studio 2022 with msvc version 19.41.34123.

I verified the installation worked and added msvc to my PATH. I am trying to build from a Developer Powershell inside VS. When I run cl, I see that the compiler is in the PATH and recognized by the shell.

(csp) PS C:\Users\adamg\github\csp> cl
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.41.34123 for x86
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

However, when I try to build using make build-conda (or make build too), I get the following error:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Trying 'Visual Studio 15 2017 x64 v141' generator
--------------------------------
---------------------------

Not searching for unused variables given on the command line.
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:2 (PROJECT):
  Generator

    Visual Studio 15 2017

  could not find any instance of Visual Studio.



-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I am wondering why the build process is looking for Visual Studio 2017? Is there a configuration I am missing to get it to the point to the right msvc compiler?

To set up my dev environment, I followed the steps here https://github.com/Point72/csp/wiki/Build-CSP-from-Source#building-with-conda-on-linux. Are there extra steps needed for Windows?

Thanks
Adam
