CMake can, in principle, be configured to always use the given "toolkit" to compile the given source code. (ex: Ninja, MinGW, VisualStudio, etc...)
To be honest, I don't have much experience with these programs,.. If, the package is put together well, the desired/tested program can usually be produced, if there is source code for it.
Manual patching of EXEs does not always solve the problem of whether they can be run on XP? (If, Vista+ compatible EXEs are released after compilation.) If there are no significant number of Vista/7 kernel-specific calls in the binary file, then they usually work on XP as well.
