Issues compiling GLFM with Emscripten and CMake on Windows - c++

Question

I am trying to compile GLFM using emscripten and cmake. I followed the instructions on the GitHub page to do so, and the cmake command to generate all of the project files works without a hitch (other than some deprecation warnings), but when I enter the line cmake --build . I get errors.
Here is the entire output:

Its complaint is with the argument /Weverything. I looked in the project's CMakeLists.txt file and it looks like this command is only supposed to be used if the active compiler is clang. Could this be the issue? It is using visual studio as a host, should it be doing that?
It says that emscripten 1.35.0 is required and that's the exact version I'm using.
I also followed the instructions to get it running in Android Studio and it worked without a hitch.
Thanks in advance for help!

The solution to this problem is as follows:
Don't use windows.
I used Ubuntu and everything went excellently aside from installing a modern version cmake. After searching for a while the method for doing that which worked for me can be found here: https://peshmerge.io/how-to-install-cmake-3-11-0-on-ubuntu-16-04/
