See https://www.producingoss.com/, then.  The book draws on the
author's experience on this very mailing list.

Another standard reference is

The gen-make.py script generates VS projects.  That should be
documented in INSTALL.  Patches welcome ☺ (both to INSTALL and to the
script)

Cheers,

P.S.  For orientation, gen-make.py is actually used by the Unix-like
build as well, though it's not generally run directly.  (I only ever
run it directly when I've created a new C file.  Running it manually
regenerates build-outputs.mk, which in turn allows the build to succeed.
Is this trick documented in INSTALL or HACKING?)
