I am getting the following error while compiling SeqAn Framework:
1> [CMake] CMake Error:

The following is my CMakeSettings_schema.json file:
{
"configurations": [
{
"name": "x64-Clang-Debug",
"generator": "Ninja",
"configurationType": "Debug",
"buildRoot": "${projectDir}\\out\\build\\${name}",
"installRoot": "${projectDir}\\out\\install\\${name}",
"cmakeCommandArgs": "",
"buildCommandArgs": "",
"ctestCommandArgs": "",
"inheritEnvironments": [ "clang_cl_x64_x64" ],
"variables": []
}
]
}
The following is the content of my build.ninja file from line # 152:
COMMAND = cmd.exe /C "cd /D C:\Users\pc\source\repos\seqan\out\build\x64-Clang-Debug && C:\Users\pc\source\repos\seqan\out\build\x64-Clang-Debug\bin\$(ConfigurationName)\alf.exe --write-ctd C:/Users/pc/source/repos/seqan/out/build/x64-Clang-Debug/workflow_plugin_dir/descriptors/alf.ctd"
What can I do to fix this?
