How do I build Windows Terminal from source in order to obtain those 2 files?

I need those because I want to fix an issue in my Alacritty build.

You can find the build instructions on the home page of this repo:
https://github.com/microsoft/terminal#developer-guidance

Once the build has completed, you should find the conpty.dll and OpenConsole.exe files in the bin\x64\Release directory (assuming a release build on a 64-bit architecture).

Do I really need VS2019 or would the VS Build Tools 2019 suffice?
