I am trying to the AWS SDK for C++. Currently, I installed cmake, and clang. I am following the documentation listed here: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp

I am at the building from source stage. When I cd to the directory I created, and run the build command, I get the following message:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:152 (project):
  Running

   'nmake' '-?'

  failed with:

   The system cannot find the file specified


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

How do I fix this and why is this error message occurring? Thank you for any help in advance.

error message

I tried to search online for the error message. I found results related to configuring the path, or ensuring that gcc and g++ were installed.

  • The error message is about missed `nmake` utility which is a build tool for "NMake Makefiles" CMake [generator](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-generators.7.html), which seems to be a default on your machine. You need to specify with `-G` a generator, for which you have a build tool. Note on the first documented step for the installation: "Install CMake and the relevant build tools for your platform. Ensure these are available in your executable path." – Tsyvarev Dec 17 '22 at 09:38
