-Because Tk before 8.6.8 cannot be built with the latest Windows SDK
-(naming conflicts; see [1]), an earlier one (10.0.15063.0 is the
-last working version) is needed (available at [2]).
-Targets `tk`, `tkstub` and `libfb` need to be changed to use this SDK
-(right click on a target -> Configuration Properties -> General;
-select the SDK in Windows SDK Version).

To build with CMake and Visual Studio, the first step is to obtain the
BRL-CAD sources and create a build directory. In principle, it is not

+=== Setting a specific SDK version ===
+
+If a particular version of the Windows SDK is needed, it is specified
+with CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION (for example, to use 10.0.15063.0 the user
+would define a New Entry in the CMake GUI before running configure,
+make the variable CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION as a string type, and assign the
+value of 10.0.15063.0.)
+
+Note that for this to work the SDK version in question must be
+installed on the system.
