Hey! 👋

I will be trying it out today! I'll make sure to update you soon.
For now, I checked with the CMake version it's 3.31.1 & 3.22.1.
So I have uninstalled 3.22.1 and will try building the project again.

Hey my issue got resolved. I moved my project folder to the root of the C drive and renamed it to a one letter. Then the build is successful. But how weird is this?

@Angryman18 this is unfortunately a known and unresolved issue on Windows
