Visual Studio lots of little errors

Hello, I would like to compile using Visual Studio for a variety of practical reasons (particularly the debugger). I have tried both MSVS 2022 and 2019. Each time, I get all kinds of errors:
- Error C1189 #error: "This version of XAudio2 is available only in Windows 8 or later..."
- 'DeviceClass *":invalid target type for dynamic_cast
- 'signbit': ambiguous call to overloaded function
- Various warnings treated as errors (I have manually disabled this function, but still have problems)
- If I really mess with things to get it to compile, I have all sorts of linker errors
- and more...
Compiling with MSYS2 seems OK.
I have fresh installs of MSVS.
I have tried the "master" and recent releases of the sources.
Are there any tricks I'm missing?
Has anyone built MAME from scratch with MSVS recently?
Is Visual Studio really supported?
I have some ideas for the code and would like to contribute back. Any help is appreciated!
Thank you!

Not sure if it matters, but (you didn't specify) : what version of Windows are you using ?

Good question. I should have specified. I am using Windows 11. (And like you implied, hopefully, that does not matter!)

Not sure how I missed those. Thanks for the links for the MSVS problems!

So, I went back and added the defines, etc. as per the notes. I still have a few errors, one of which I worked around, but the other I can't figure out. Here's the output from MSVS:
Code:

I would really appreciate it if anyone else sees this and what they do about it. Thank you!

You aren't giving enough information. "MSVS 2022" (I've only ever heard it acronymed as MSVC, but whatev) encompasses a whole ton of versions, same as with MSVC 2019 and earlier iterations.
You haven't said what exact version you're using, and you also haven't said what packages you've installed.
For example, I'm on MSVC 2022, version 17.2.6, and the relevant installed packages are:
- All of the x64/x86 variants of "MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ build tools"
- Windows Universal CRT SDK
- C++ Build Tools core features
- C++ core features
- C++ ATL for latest v143 build tools (x86 & x64)
- C++ ATL for latest v143 build tools with Spectre Mitigations (x86 & x64)
- C++ MFC for latest v143 build tools (x86 & x64)
- C++ MFC for latest v143 build tools with Spectre Mitigations (x86 & x64)
- Windows 10 SDK (10.0.19041.0)
- Windows Universal C Runtime
I don't encounter the compile errors you're talking about. At this point, I would suggest simply using a text editor and using the command-line Msys2 build tools. They're the most common and well-tested build configuration, and if you're deviating from that, you're expected to be capable of doing some level of self-diagnosis.

Make sure you match packages, as well. If those two text snippets are all of the packages that you have installed, it seems like you have a bunch of necessary things missing.
