what steps have you taken to run the text file? and which version of visual studio are you using, recent version has better CMake support.

Generally speaking, you should select a valid startup project which will be built into an executable, you can google how to do it. These may help you:

• Customize startup on Microsoft doc
• An answer on stackoverflow may help you.
