  Tundra is a code build system that tries to be accurate and fast for incremental builds

  I solved this problem in 2017 when they changed things around a bit.

  CMD /c vcvarsall.bat x64 && set

  I implemented this in tundra a very nice and fast build system. It's in Lua... you can look at it here https://github.com/deplinenoise/tundra/blob/master/scripts/t...
