[HTCondor-devel] Error in Windows build from Git source

[Guy Markey <guymarkey@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.

I recently cloned the source code for HTCondor from GitHub however there appears to be an error in the generation of theÂbuild.ninja file generated within VS. The error is

Error CMake Error:

 Running

 Â'C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Community/Common7/IDE/CommonExtensions/Microsoft/CMake/Ninja/ninja.exe' '-C' 'C:/Projects/HTCondor/out/build/x64-Debug' '-t' 'recompact'

 failed with:

 Âninja: error: build.ninja:949: lexing error C:\Projects\HTCondor\ Âninja

The offending line within build.ninja is as follows.

 DESC = Performing install step for 'krb5'

 restat = 1

Line 949 is the line starting "COMMAND = cmd.exe /C..."

It appears that there is an imbalance in the quotation marks. I assume that all three lines should be a single line. Any clues as to how to fix this?

Regards
