Compiling for VS2017
I am trying to download and compile Musescore in Visual Studio 2017 following this guide https://musescore.org/en/handbook/developers-handbook/compilation/compi…
I get all fine down to looking for a mscore.sln project file. All I see is a load of freetype.sln. Why could this be? All extensions installed as the guide stated.
Comments
two remarks:
If everything worked as it should, Visual Studio will have processed the CMakeLists.txt file in the root directory of the project, and created the corresponding Visual Studio Solution in the build.debug folder within the project (to see this folder in the project’s file tree, the option “Show All Files” must be selected, otherwise, this directory will be hidden)
Are you sure Visual Studio was already done parsing CMakeLists.txt; for comparison, opening the project the first time in QtCreator, this parsing can easily take up to 2-5mins
It is a WIP (Work In Progress) which means the instructions are still being written. From the introduction:
These instructions apply from revision github-MuseScore-musescore-TBDTBDTBD onwards, committed nth May 2018, and applies only to the development version of MuseScore (master).
TBD == to be defined == not yet known or confirmed
In reply to two remarks:… by jeetee
Got all dependencies installed. Now have 0 errors and a load of warnings about finding Qt5 in line 29 though Qt5 is installed. Don't know if thats relevant.

I have no clue what line 29 would be, as I've not tried this out myself at all.
Your best bet at this point is hoping that whoever wrote that page sees this topic and responds
