@romario781
The error doesn't make much sense since the first messages says strawberry_lib.lib was generated, but later it says it "doesn't know how to make", do you have some sort of anti-virus removing or blocking the files? Does strawberry_lib.lib exist?
Please share the CMake command and full output with ``--log-level=DEBUG"`?

And I'm curious, why do you use NMake and not Ninja or Visual Studio 17? NMake is really slow.
