    * open lmms.sln in Visual Studio
    * Unload 32bit projects from Visual Studio
    - `RemoteVstPlugin32` project
    * Unload 32bit projects from Visual Studio from the solution explorer.
    - Scroll down to `RemoteVstPlugin32` project and unload.
    * Compile!
    * Run :-)

    You will get lmms.exe at: build/Debug/ folder. I have not tested with Release build option.
    You will get lmms.exe at `build/Debug/lmms.exe` or at `build\Release\lmms.exe`.
    I have not tested in-depth with Release build option. But both builds work well.

    ## Plugins that are difficult

    None of the ladspa plugins compile natively. So, please copy them directly into plugins/ladspa folder from outside.
    You should first install with an official copy of LMMS installer to get this folder.
    None of the plugins/ladspa/*.dll plugins will compile natively in our case.
    So, please copy them directly into plugins/ladspa folder from outside (from LMMS original installation folder reference)

    You can see: The specified module could not be found.
    - ladspa/*.dll copied directly into (imp_1199.dll, mbeq_1197.dll, pitch_scale_1193.dll, pitch_scale_1194.dll)
    - sf2player.dll - compiled/built but does not run well
    - libfluidsynth-3.dll

    In release mode, further, following modules could not be found.
    - plugins\carlarack.dll
    - plugins\glib-2.0-0.dll

    In both cases, the .dll files exist but somehow unuseful.

    ## Other notes

    * Uses Microphone during the LMMS
    * Activates microphone while running LMMS
    * Gigabytes of overall downloads
    * Gigabytes of total hard disk usage
    * Taking a lot of time to complete the proces
    * Takes a lot of time to complete the proces
    * All projects are listed in same hierarchy.
    * For example, one language translation becomes a project on the top hierarchy of the lmms.sln file.
    * Translation projects, and application projects are mixed together.
    * Packaging, Installation, Uninstallation not considered.
    * Release mode build not considered.
    * I did not consider release mode build in details.
