Windows 10 build failed

Trying to install YaCo at my local PC, getting an error while running cmake:

$yaco/out/x64> cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo

Getting this error log:

InitializeBuildStatus: Touching "yatools.dir\RelWithDebInfo\yatools.tlog\unsuccessfulbuild". CustomBuild: yadb.fbs Generating yatools_/gitversion.dependency fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git CMake Error at yatools/git_version.cmake:9 (message): C:/Program Files/Git/cmd/git.exe describe --dirty --tags --long: returned 128

Has anyone encountered this? Can't figure out which repository is not a git repo, and why it should be. Thanks!

You need to build the project from a git directory, because the git version is embedded into the dlls during compilation as a version string

That worked, thanks for the help (probably a silly question, I'm new to this)
