Windows Build?

Anybody have a working Visual Studio solution for building FreeFileSync, preferably for a version not more than 4 years old? I tried the MinFFS build, followed the instructions they left on github (5 years old), but no-go....so I'm not looking for any more super-complex and time consuming build processes (only to find out they don't work for whatever reasons). So if someone has a turn-key Visual Studio solution for this, please share. Also acceptable would be a Linux build environment, that can build FreeFileSync binaries for Windows, distributed as a Virtual Machine.

Giving up on being able to make a Windows build of FFS, I found a similar project called FTPBox that has a full Visual Studio solution, so I was able to load it up in Visual Studio 2017 and build it in less than a minute. It has few features compared to FFS, but it's important for me to be able to customize, so I'm gonna go the FTPBox route.
