Trouble compiling Audacity on Windows 10 MSVS2019

I have linked the forum question here :
https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=116591&sid=3ac636de6b35ae9b3ba2dbef98c8a6cb

I am trying to build Audacity as per the instructions in
https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Building_On_Windows
I have successfully built wxWidgets, and have added WXWIN to the
environment. WXWIN points to the source (git repo).
setup0.h and setup.h are both present in the directory under
\include\wx\msw\
$WXWIN = 'D:\Git_Projects\GSOC\audacity_wxWidgets\wxWidgets'

I am constantly getting stuck at the same point as in the attached photo.
Using CMake-GUI, it says it cannot find wxWidgets (missing:
wxWidgets_LIBRARIES wxWidgets_INCLUDE_DIRS .....)

I have built wxWidgets using CMake-GUI, with Visual Studio 2019 as the
generator.
I have mingw, msys also installed. Kindly help.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the exact steps I followed :

1.  Downloaded and installed MSVS 2019 Community Edition with C++ Desktop
Development workload (includes MSVC x64/86 build tools, Win10 SDK, C++
CMake tools for Windows).

2. Git was already installed.

3. Python3 was also pre-installed.

4. Cloned wxWidgets using '*git clone --recurse-submodules
https://github.com/audacity/wxWidgets/
<https://github.com/audacity/wxWidgets/>*'

5. Changed directory to *build\msw* and then ran the following commands

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc SHARED=1 UNICODE=1 BUILD=release clean

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc

6. Set WXWIN environment path to the folder I had cloned the repo into.

7. Open *wx_vc16.sln* with VS2019, select DLL Release and build. Success
with 24 packages.

8. To test whether it's working, I created a new empty C++ project. Added
property sheet *\wxwidgets.props *added source file, copied code from
*minimal.cpp* and built. It worked, and on Run, the sample window appeared
for wxWidgets sample.

9. Cloned Audacity as *git clone https://github.com/audacity/audacity/
<https://github.com/audacity/audacity/>*

10. Opened CMake GUI, click configure. This is when the above problem
arises. I have tried different wxWidget build processes, including
CMake-GUI, downloading pre-built binaries, but I always get stuck at the
same step.


Help will be appreciated. Thank You.
