The package name passed to find_package_handle_standard_args (jack) does
not match the name of the calling package (Jack). This can lead to
problems in calling code that expects find_package result variables
(e.g., _FOUND) to follow a certain pattern. C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Community/Common7/IDE/CommonExtensions/Microsoft/CMake/CMake/share/cmake-3.19/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake 426
There have been a lot of very recent changes to the way of building Audacity.
I think the latest instructions are those that are in the source code: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/blob/master/BUILDING.md
Those instructions should be correct for Audacity 3.0.3 alpha.
If you want to build a previous version, look for the instructions in your source code.
I’ve not yet tried the new build method on Windows (I mostly use Linux), so at best I can only suggest general advice.
If you get part way through a build and it fails, don’t try to fix it - scrap it completely and start again.
