How do you import the project into a CMake project in Visual Studio 2019? #37

The directions say, that's simple, just do this:
However, it is not that simple. I'm struggling to do this. I have CMake support for Visual Studio installed. I can create a CMake project. I can open a CMake folder, but doing so does not create a project for you. And the instructions on Microsoft don't explain what to do here. |

Do you use Visual Studio 2019? You need to select the root directory of this project, which you have cloned locally. A CMake project in VS doesn't create a regular VS project, but uses the CMake tool chain. A menu item "CMake" should appear. See also the link above for details. |
