Rewrite the plugin's configuration/settings so we can build it on Windows..

The plugin compiles perfectly on non-Windows systems, but the current build scripts and settings break under Windows 10/11. I need the configuration rewritten so the entire project builds cleanly in a standard Windows environment—whether that means CMake, Visual Studio solutions, or another toolchain you recommend.

Key objectives
• Update or replace existing build/configuration files so the codebase compiles without errors on Windows.
• Keep all existing functionality intact; no behavioural changes.
• Provide a short README that explains the exact steps required to reproduce a successful Windows build from a fresh clone.

I will test by cloning the repository on a clean Windows machine, following your README, and confirming it builds and runs as it does on Linux/macOS. Once that passes, we’re done.
