The last time i tried this I had errors because there seemed to be parallel access to some debug info databases. However Visual Studio's CMake mode uses Ninja out of the box. So it should work. Why did it not work for me? Is the /MD option vorbidden with Ninja?

CMake causes errors when the vcvarsall.bat environment is not set.
Currently the distributionPackages target fails to build because of problems with the $<SEMICOLON> generator expression.
The hunter qt package also fails to build for this configuration.

Found some information about the original problem in the jenkinsfile.

A link to the ninja issue: https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/issues/620
The problem only occurred for incremental builds.

Alternatively we could try to build with clang on windows.
