Configuring error

when I install the ngsolve, according to the steps in Build on Windows — NGS-Py 6.2.2404-2-ge6a630133 documentation

while Configuring, and I input the following in git:

cmake “…/src” -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=“BASEDIR/install”

it shows the following error:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:45 (project):
Running

‘nmake’ ‘-?’

failed with:

no such file or directory

CMake Error: CMAKE_C_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
CMake Error: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
– Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Please help me, Thanks !

I am running into the same issue. Were you able to solve it?

it seems you didn’t install visual studio compiler or it cannot be found. did you install visual studio?

I was able to fix this error by making sure that in Visual Studio the following were installed:

MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86
C++ CMake tools for Windows
Windows 11 SDK
