As Baltazar mentioned, this feature already exists AFAIK in Mixxx 2.0.0.
Is it not working?

Yes, setting up a Windows development environment is the most difficult
to do. (Linux is the easiest.)

We have not tested with VS Community. We use Visual Studio Express (but
want to use just the Visual C++ Build Tools in the future) and have most
recently tested using "Visual Studio Express 2015 for Windows Desktop."
(This is what is installed on our new build server but we are still
tweaking it to get it to work. This is why we haven't been producing
nightly Windows builds yet.)

nmake is a Visual Studio command-line tool. You will need to install
either the VC++ Build Tools or VS Express to get both this and the C++
compilers as well as a number of other needed utilities like the
linkers. (If you'd like to help our testing, try with the Build Tools
first and report any issues you come across here:

Thanks again for your time and interest!
