However, you can change this to `Release` if you don't need them. While `Debug` builds can be compiled and used, they are not recommended if the primary goal is to match the code to the original binary. This is because the retail binaries were compiled as `Release` builds. - `NMake Makefiles` is most recommended because it will be immediately compatible with Visual C++ 4.2. For faster builds, you can use `Ninja` (if you have it installed), however due to limitations in Visual C++ 4.2, you can only build `Release` builds this way (debug symbols cannot be generated with `Ninja`). 1. Build the project by running `nmake` or `cmake --build ` 1. When this is done, there should be a recompiled `ISLE.EXE` and `LEGO1.DLL` in the build folder.
