Unable to run rez on windows

[sunilk-n]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to run rez on windows...? I tried all the ways to run rez

• Followed rez wiki documentation
• installed cmake
• installed G++ compiler but still I'm getting issue while running rez

I got this below error while building default "hello-world" package even after setting environmental path for gcc compiler

Executing: f:\projects\cmake-3.18.0-win64-x64\bin\cmake.exe -d F:\Temp\rez-master\example_packages\hello_world -Wno-dev -DCMAKE_ECLIPSE_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT=TRUE -D_ECLIPSE_VERSION=4.3 --no-warn-unused-cli -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=c:\users\sunil kumar nerella\packages\hello_world\1.0.0 -DCMAKE_MODULE_PATH=%CMAKE_MODULE_PATH% -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DREZ_BUILD_TYPE=local -DREZ_BUILD_INSTALL=1 -G NMake Makefiles

CMake Error in CMakeLists.txt:
  The CMAKE_C_COMPILER:

    cl

  is not a full path and was not found in the PATH.

  To use the NMake generator with Visual C++, cmake must be run from a shell
  that can use the compiler cl from the command line.  This environment is
  unable to invoke the cl compiler.  To fix this problem, run cmake from the
  Visual Studio Command Prompt (vcvarsall.bat).

  Tell CMake where to find the compiler by setting either the environment
  variable "CC" or the CMake cache entry CMAKE_C_COMPILER to the full path to
  the compiler, or to the compiler name if it is in the PATH.
