Description
I actually wasn't able to get the repo building anymore using the instructions in the README... CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE seems to evaluate to empty string even though I call init_all / init.cmd with the right params. Perhaps something is out of sync in the readme?

Research direction
Start with the README build instructions and init.cmd, then reproduce the configuration using the MSBuild generator while checking how CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is passed. Done means the documented setup works with MSBuild and the configuration no longer fails because CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is empty.
