its not giving me the error, its probably a problem of yours, try updating to latest cmake version maybe it would fix it.

@merasmus44 what cmake version do you use?

cmake --version

2) what compiler do you use? if VisualStudio then cmake should find it and use it, eg:

C:\Dev\pycdc-master-2024\pycdc-master>cmake .
-- Building for: Visual Studio 16 2019
-- Selecting Windows SDK version 10.0.20348.0 to target Windows 6.1.7601.
-- The C compiler identification is MSVC 19.29.30154.0
-- The CXX compiler identification is MSVC 19.29.30154.0
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done
....

cmake version 3.29.3. I do have visual studio 2022 installed, but cmake can't seem to find it despite it being in my PATH

try to help cmake find VS eg: cmd.exe vcvars.bat cmake .

[merasmus44]
