I've been making some changes to dolphin, but I'm using a computer without admin, and it is very tedious to keep switching computers (I can't work on the computer with admin, its too slow). I know that using Visual Studio needs admin, but I was wondering if it would be possible to create Windows binaries via cmake on MSYS2 or similar (preferably not cygwin).
Compiling Dolphin on Windows Without Admin?

You shouldn't need administrative rights to compile Dolphin. You'll need them for installing Visual Studio, though...

We don't officially support any way of building for Windows other than MSVC, and I don't think anyone has tested it either. So you're kind of on your own if you want to go down this route.

Ok well I got MSVC, is there any other way to use it than MSBuild? Because that fails for me due to the standard C++ libraries being missing.

Yes, MSVC with CMake is supported. But I would advise trying to fix the problem with the missing libraries, because you'll need those libraries regardless of whether you use MSBuild or CMake.

Went through quite a bit with msbuild, eventually ended up moving over to cygwin/mingw64/msys2. Cygwin generated the makefiles, and after adding a few #define _GNU_SOURCE in some common files, and a platform check in SFML it now breaks on long unsigned ints.

I ended up giving up, but in case this is helpful to anyone else I used a Win 11 SDK install from here:https://github.com/Zopolis4/VisualCppInstaller and a copy of Visual Studio Build Tools installed into a local directory via command line parameters on a pc with admin.
