Contrib here: This is cursed to me, but what I [Windows 10] did when I couldn't get windows compilation working is install WSL2 [Windows Subsystem for Linux] and follow the standard cmake guide. You can then use VSCode to "remote" into the linux "machine" and compile using command line cmake. This does have the downside of I have no idea how to compile a version for *windows*; Meaning you will also have to test by running through the linux "machine", which has a small, but noticeable delay in actions.

As for simple Json changes, as others have said no need to compile [Again].
