So my stubborn ass decided to figure out how to build it myself on a local machine. In the process, I encountered a ridiculous number of build errors; they were using custom Makefiles, but they had been generated by some other tool (possibly from Windows, even though it was being built in Linux, since there was a Windows VS solution as well).</p>
